hello everyone, i am the PROUD owner of my very first car, a 1986 pontiac parisienne brougham (basically a rebadged bonneville) it has a engine i wouldn't normally expect in a pontiac, an oldsmobile. its a 307, and my first question is, does anyone know why they put an olds motor in a pontiac? its not a complaint because i love oldsmobiles. so far, i've done the smog/ac/cat delete, and i love her, sounds amazing. now for my second question, is there any performance parts for the 307? if so, where? most people shun the 307, and tell me to put a 350 in it. no thanks. i want to see how far i can really push this 307. unfortunatley, i have the 7A heads, (small swirl ports) and i can't find any 5A heads for sale anywhere. so im looking for performance parts such as, intake, heads, cam, blah blah blah you get the picture. i haven't had the car very long (maybe 2 months) and am having trouble with the title (got washed before transfered to my name and i cant contact the guy i bought it off of) so from the looks of it, im going to have to get a court ordered title. but it doesn't matter to me because honestly, i've fallen in love with this car. i got it for a steal (a moped that i invested $300 in) so the court costs isn't going to bother me too much because i'd still be paying less for this car then most would. she's got a few dings and dents, but the interior is perfect, 127k on the odometer too. but all of that is besides the point. any tips/hints/advice/links would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks guys!

 

By 1986 GM was putting a lot of different engines in a lot of different cars. The Olds 307 is found in a lot of GM platforms. For instance, my 1984 Buick Riviera had the 307 Olds engine.
