ive neglected this thread but the cutlass is still making progress. I've moved up from the 307 to a 68-70 Olds 350 for another $200 just last month. I don't know about anyone else, but I learned my lesson that its easier to pull the trans with the engine when swapping, thought I'd do it...

Me being in High School do get alot of crap. I have a female friend with a mint 70' Nova and her brother a mint 67' Mustang. Believe it or not they arent car people. Then my car buddies only care about Hondas, imports, and lifted trucks. My friends always doubting the driveability of it. My car...

Yeah that'll help me out. I never thought to go with electric fans but I'll do some research on here and look into that.

Have you tried to do just regular service to the car before you moved it? (plugs and wires, fluid changes, carburetor clean, etc.) From it sitting for some time, fresh fluids and such would let you really know what you're working with. See if theyre rebuild-able. I dont exactly know if Hawaii...

Thanks for the support. Ill try to be more frequent with updates. QS442 Ill look around while im working and think of things that are needed vs. things that could wait. ADentice I will keep that in mind. Ive already had some trouble locating a v8 fan shroud for the 78-80 body style. I personally...

I know I have been neglecting anyone that has been concerned with any updates, Ive enlisted in the USMC and juggling school, but the car is up and running now. It still doesnt have exhaust, heat or a/c, functional cluster, or window regulator for the passenger door. I replaced the cluster and...

Thanks, Anything wired to anything has your average joe wire job and all hacked to pieces and connectors. I plan on replacing the cluster, column, and figure out why the ac/heat is so butchered.

This is where I am currently. Got the swap done in about 4 days. The things left on my to do list is Install distributor, fluids, exhaust, and find a 4 barrel carburetor. Ive been more worried about finding a carburetor over everything else. Youd think finding a budget carburetor would be...

Pulling the engine and trans out for me was a 2 man job since my car was on a slight incline and im a lanky 6'0" 130lbs After that it was as simple as unbolting the torque converter and bell housing and separating, after that the 260 was stripped of its good parts, it was junked and some parts...

Bought a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero for $600, had it for 2 months sold it for 2 grand and I got this car August of 2013 for $700 in Springfield,Tn site on scene non running and towed it home. Sat in my Moms driveway (16 at the time) because I didnt have very many tools, parts, or money. Was the...

Was the F body Camaro rear brake swap direct bolt on? I just heard about being able to do it. Whats all the parts that you needed to do it?

Mine are Mallory Ignition gauges. From what I know about them is they dont make them anymore and the previous owner put them in with a piece of wood replacing the dash panel. I plan to clean them up and make a better panel of aluminum or so...

I have a question about a steering column swap and cant seem to find it anywhere else. So I have a busted floor shifter column and cant find another. Could I some how take the handle off of a column shifter or some how go about turning a column shifter into a floor shifter? its a 78 style...

Welcome to the community. Lightning rod shifters are really fun to fool around with! My friend owns a cutlass with some.
