Guest Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I wonder if any of you can tell me about any performance shops that specialize in olds performance parts, Pistons rods etc? I've been dealing with a company out of California<BR>recently in building performance Olds engines, However I don't trust them to be competent in making just decisions. Any help would be appreciated. Even if you know an individual that can get specilized parts. Thanks,<P>S.M. Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Dick Miller is as good as or better and way cheaper. He's not as impressed with his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Just my little opinion (flames ready...) I think Joe Mondello is a pompous ass who glorifies himself by telling you that everyone else has no knowledge of oldsmobile engines. He is one of those people who is so insecure that the only way he's happy is by putting you and everyone else down. I have no respect for hime at all and would rather have my oldsmobile built by my friend's Ford guy than let Joe touch it. He may make good power, but I just don't like the beating I take everytime I talk to him. Anyone else???...... I have his tech book and catalog. He may have been in the Oldsmobile business for a thousand years, but his ideas on performance must be based on voodoo or what his daddy's moonshiner told him because they are a little kooky.<P>Just my subtle opinion<BR>Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Yeah, I agree with you Curtis.<BR>The company i said i didn't trust to <BR>help me.... Mondello.<BR>I myself am quite tired of Lynn and his<BR>condecending attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Lynn is a real piece of work. Not quite a year ago I delt with him on the elusive big car "S" exhaust manifolds for my '70 98.<P>They did have one, but boy I sure had to kiss his a$$ to get it. Several other local members have had the same feelings and/or run-ins with Modello and their staff. Not good for such a small market segment...<p>[ 04-17-2002: Message edited by: aftrbrn ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchetmaster Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 I just recently aquired my first oldsmobile . . . so I haven't delt with any parts/tech people in olds. I had just heard of him from a friend.<P>I would be interested in hearing of others who are also knowledgable in the olds performance stuff.<BR><B>rocketraider<BR>you mentioned Dick Miller. Who is he and how would someone get ahold of him?</B><P>Any others?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 <A HREF="http://www.dickmillerracing.com" TARGET=_blank>www.dickmillerracing.com</A> <P>There's supposed to be a guy in Pickens SC who is good with them too but I cannot get his name from anybody down there.

Guest Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I have deltwith Clifford Preformance in CA a bit for other cars, Hudson, Plymoth,AMC and had very good luck. Not real cheap but middle of the road on price. Jack Clifford is the owner and I would talk with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Thought Clifford did mostly six-cylinders?<P>Pup- you're fanning flames mentioning Hudson on an Olds page, especially after a newly elected OCA national president drove a Hudson to his inaugural OCA meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 2dr.ltd Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Whats a Hudson? (what some youngster will be saying about Oldsmobile in 10- 15 years) maybe that was the mans point in driving the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Hop on over to realoldspower.com There are many heavy-hitting Olds engines on there that don't use one single Mondello part in them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
