These olds engines were really not just a gas conversion. They had a heavy
forged crank and lower end. The head gaskets blew all the time, the head
design was just too cheap and cut things too close for a good seal. Heck, the
gas
350 olds engines have been known to have leaking head

That was the crazy part. They wanted $3,500. I explained to the guy
that yes it is in great shape and it has low miles, but it was not a
dependable car. He said he had never had any problems. I told him I
