1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic Performance Engines

Mr. Gasket High Performance Thermostats are designed to resist large variations of coolant pressure at high RPM (revolutions per minute). This allows them to fully open at correct temperature consistently regardless of engine RPM. The design also provides the high flow that engines operated a higher RPM need. This thermostat also features a copper/brass construction to further resist corrosion. Mr. Gasket High Performance / High Flow Thermostats are suitable for street, drag race, or oval track applications.

“Edelbrock part No: 7112 Performer RPM Camshaft is designed for small-block Oldsmobile 350-403 V-8 applications. This Edelbrock cam kit produced 397 HP & 400 ft-lbs. of torque when used with No: 7111 intake and stock iron cylinder heads on a 350 engine. The camshaft works well with high-performance’s street applications, Performer RPM cams provide power from 1500 to 6500 rpm. This hydraulic lifter camshaft is dyno-matched to Performer RPM manifolds for high-rpm horsepower while still maintaining acceptable low-end torque. With 10 to 12 inches of manifold vacuum at idle, Performer RPM cams have more lift and duration than most street camshafts. Hydraulic flat tappet lifters are included with each Performer RPM camshaft. Camshaft Specifications: – Duration at .050 Intake: 224 degrees – Duration at .050 Exhaust: 234 degrees – Lift at Valve Intake: .496″” – Lift at Valve Exhaust: .520″” – Lobe Separation: 112 Degrees – Intake Centerline: 107 Degrees – Idle Vacuum at 1000 RPM’s: 12″””
