a 350 is a good powerful engine. 72 olds is a good car to race (a bit heavy though). put in performance exausts. auto or standard tranny? heavy duty engine mounts. duel or quad carb? maybe increase compression. might as well do a performance rebuilt of the engine. depends on how much $ you want to sink into it and how hot you want to make it. beef up the suspension and rear end. i'm rebuilding a '73 mustang and a '77 el camino with 350. good luck

Actually you may have quite a gem there. If your car came with an Oldsmobile 350 it is very valuable and will be expensive to modify.I owned a 1972 Buick Skylark, which had a Buick 350, also rare. However, if your engine is a chevy, it will be easy to fix up.

Look up Dick Miller Racing on the web. Oldsmobile's are his thing. Also try Joe Mondello. It's a good engine but when you want to get serious and if you want to stay with the Olds Engines you can't go wrong with a 455.
