      On that na 496... not sure what heads it has but... I'd probably run it on a 107. Also would look for something with more lift. Less duration if you wanted peak power where it was (same overlap, less duration). Would probably make a little more power and a good bit more usable torque through the rpm range.

      Just my thoughts but you might be limited by cylinder head options. I could be 100% wrong because I haven't had a real Oldsmobile powered Oldsmobile in like 20 years they may have stepped up the aftermarket game since then.
