B.O.( no " P " ) engines / weights

If memory serves me correctly, the Buick / Olds 215 come  in around 320-330
lbs. 

The Buick and Olds ARE different.   I believe it is the Buick that has more
"potential"  due to similaraties to the Buick v-6 engines, and their
associated hardware. Also, I think Buick made a 300 cubic inch v-8 engine (
cast iron block/aluminum heads )  These heads ( I think ) can be used on the
215, and also the crank with minor modifications.  I believe with proper
modifications, these engines can be enlarged to around 305".
