I'm probably getting a 1987 Olds Cutlass Brougham. It has the "Y" code 307 and is bone stock with 158,000 miles.. Should I keep the engine and rebuild it or just move up to a Olds Rocket 350?

damn man thats a hard one to answer but to be honest if you can get your hands on a rocket,id buid that one.. i like the 307 cuz its reliable and damn good on gas. has plenty of torqe just in case some one wants to play..i dont win every time but its fun giving them a run for their money and telling them u almost got smoked by a 307..

[666Feo666]

i wish i new but i would put it up against any stock 350

I love the sound of carbs sucking in that air!

[666Feo666]

Hell yeah

Had a Chevy 307 in my 67 Impala. Did a nice job in a 4000+pound car with Powerglide 2 speed auto and 3.08 rear.

@RedogOnyx Oh I know it was only made those years. The Chevy 307 I had in my Impala was a 72. They never had a 4 barrel like the Olds. Chevy 305's from 79 on had 4 barrel carbs and more horsepower than it's predescessor.

@MegaGuitarboss 23 MPG is a bit much considering brand new they only got 20 MPG highway, but a 15 second 1/4 mile on a stock 307? I call BS

[RedogOnyx]

@Nivicoman The Chevy 307 was only made in the late 60's to the early 70's A Chevy 307 IS NOT an Olds 307

[RedogOnyx]

@666Feo666 The 307 Y has 140 hp and 255 ft lbs of torque. Runs the 1/4 mile in the low 18's high 17's Put it up against a stock 350, Olds, or Chevy, and you'll lose

[RedogOnyx]

@666Feo666: No it's not. Olds 350 and call it a day. The 307 is reliable, but the Olds 350 is reliable and has the power

i have a 1985 cutlass right now thats getting a turbo 350 transmission put in it i should get it back tomorrow mine has the Y code engine too which from the factory at the crank is 150 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque and the 9 block is like 170ish and 255 lb-ft of torque my Y 307 has been bored out .030 edelbrock intake and carb summit plug wires and a new distributor no more cats are on it its pretty much straight piped i just need new headers to make her breathe better :x

[fitzgerald95971]

you changed the sound.

[MegaGuitarboss]

@veltpak6 no the 307 has a shorter stroke and larger bore than a 305 chevrolet

[MegaGuitarboss]

@SickdogX3 the size of the engine has nothing to do with throttle response

[MegaGuitarboss]

@307OLDS probly because they are reliable and get good gas mileage i have one in a custom cruiser wagon that runs 15s in the quarter gets 23 mpg and has almost 200,000 miles on it all stock internals olds 307s got a bad name because they were introduced in the heighth of the smog era when even a chevy 350 had trouble making 160 hp with all the smog crap on it but a properly built an olds 307 can run with any engine out there performance wise
