Are Oldsmobile 350 455 heads interchangeable and if not please explain?

Yes, but with some note worthy issues. The heads will bolt to the block, but you will have a large intake port mismatch (the 455 intake ports are about .300 taller than the 350 ports.). You can not swap intakes to cure this, since the 455 has a taller deck height than the 350. You can however, port the top of the intake runners on a 350 intake manifold to get them closer to the 455 size (an Edelbrock Performer RPM can apparently be ported to match), or port a 350 head to get it closer to the 455 intake. Be careful to not remove too much material. There is also the problem of compression 455 heads are listed as 72cc combustion chambers, but usually measure closer to 80cc. 350 heads are listed at 60cc and are about 60-65cc. Swapping the 455 heads onto the 350 will loose about 1.5-2.0 points of compression. Results will be around 7-7.5to1. You could do it with coustom pistons to get back the lost compression. 350 heads on a 455 will raise compression too high for pump gas, and have smaller ports and (usually) smaller valves, not good for performance.

How do you get access to a coolant leak between the engine and firewall of a 1995 Oldsmobile acheiva?

You will definently have to jack up the car pretty high or put it on a lift. Make sure exactly where it is coming from, the heater lines or the heater core. The lines run into the core which can be a hassle to change. It sits under the dash and the inlet outlet shoot through the firewall to hook to the lines. Hope your one of the few lucky ones that has the leak on the outside and not in the floorboard.

What would cause standing water on the passenger side of a 1999 Oldsmobile intrique?

Check for leaks from the heater matrix. I had the exact same problem in my Olds. Behind the glove box, way up underneath is a fan (my fan went out and quit blowing AC so I was replacing it). Behind this fan is a duct that leads to the outside of the car, allowing fresh air to ventilate the cab. Not only was this duct full of leaves and mold. It was waterlogged. This is where the water was coming through. I found the end of the duct at the top end of the car under the hood and also found that there is a filter that needed to be cleaned and aired out (mold and leaves and unidentifiable gunk). I cleaned the filter replaced it and I haven't had a problem since. The only thing is this duct is extremely hard to reach, for it is on the extreme underside of the dash, it hurts your back to get to it. For a quick fix, I would always take the waterlogged car to a self-wash car wash and use the vaccums to vaccum out the water, It really worked well for me. Good Luck
