I would second that! Tom and Josh are ALWAYS available. Hell 8:00 last night Tom was still in the shop........ Josh is a little more reluctant to give out his cell phone number though......can't blame him,  ;D

The right amount of "goo" in the rear is always a place of some concern

SO I FINALLY GOT MY NEW BOAT, I ENDED UP GETTING THE 73 TAHITI. I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT BECAUSE OF THE OLDS 455 AND THE THINGS I'VE HEARD. PICS WILL COME SOON, BUT FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID I WAS A STEAL WITH ANY MOTOR. SO MY QUESTION IS, "WHAT THINGS SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT WITH THAT MOTOR." HERE ARE SOME THINGS I'VE HEARD

1. OILING ISSUE-ENGINE DEVELOPS AIR POCKETS WHILE BOUNCING AROUND AND NOT OIL ENGINE PROPERLY

2. RPM ISSUE-MOTOR DOESNT LIKE TO BE REV'D OVER 4K RPM'S

3. RELIABILITY ISSUES-WHEN ADDING PERFORMANCE PARTS THE MOTOR CANT HANDLE LIKE A BBC OR BBF

ANY ADVISE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

1. OILING ISSUE-ENGINE DEVELOPS AIR POCKETS WHILE BOUNCING AROUND AND NOT OIL ENGINE PROPERLY
Big Oil pan (10 qts or better), reworked standard volume pump with increased pressure (simple mod) deburr and relieve all oil returns including external returns (desired) , modify the lifter valley windage tray , restricted pushrods (hdwr store roll pins) and on and on , first real job I had was at Olds dealer circa 1971 Josh and I build Olds's regularly ...

2. RPM ISSUE-MOTOR DOESNT LIKE TO BE REV'D OVER 4K RPM'S
does it miss ? cut out , or "lay down" more info a moderatley built Olds will turn an A impeller around 4600 rpms

3. RELIABILITY ISSUES-WHEN ADDING PERFORMANCE PARTS THE MOTOR CANT HANDLE LIKE A BBC OR BBF
Yes they can be made reliable with very carefull builds and the right parts , (especially combinations)

Post up and let us know how we can help ! Tom
