c10scotty the olds 350 is a diesel block so to speak, same bore and stroke. olds 350 is NOTHING like a chevy 350, well pretty much.. the olds 350 is wider (from observation) than the chevy. ALSO how about the trans? you going to use the car trans as well? or going to purchase an adapter? OLDS block will not bolt to a chevy trans..

i helped a buddy put an olds 350 in his 97 Jeep Wrangler. it was a new experience for both of us.. crank bearings went bad so we put a chevy 350 in.. had to swap out trans as well.. and rebuilt motor mounts.. the only thing we used from the Olds was th alt and carb.

EDIT: from the info i have there wasnt a 350 in any olds... last year for a gas 350 was 1980. last year for the Diesel 350 was 85..largest engine available in 86.. 307...
