Well I googled and googled and found that the 275s dont look bad on an 8inch rim like you said. And a friend of mine has 15x10s with a 275 tires with a 1.25" spacer on his Monte Carlo. So for now I will just buy the 15x8s but in the future move up to the expensive 15x10 rims Im drooling over...

Alrighty good to know. Thank you very much. I plan on running a 15x10 with 4.5 backspacing with a 275 tire. What size tire did you run?

Whats the most backspace I can run on the rear of a stock 1986 Cutlass Supreme? I was wanting to run 15x10 or 15x8 rims. Most are about 4.5" or 5" backspacing. The reason I ask is there is pictures of a beautiful cutlass running those after market rallye wheels but the only 15x10s I can find in...

Alrighty thank you very much. Was my only hold up on exhaust. Right now I am just looking up slip yoke options for the TH400. What did you use?

Would those be these sir?? 68-72 Olds 442 2.5" Downpipes 2 Bolt DOF10S (0) Reviews: Write first review SKU: DOF10S

Hey guys. I was looking around on craigslist and I found a 1975 Olds 455 with the "J" smog heads. I looked it up and it says these are pretty low in hp making around 200 hp. But I have a 71 455 that I have already bought. I was wondering if there would be any gain if I were to purchase the 75...

Re: Change of plans for the 86 Cutlass, found a running 350 Dang, that's it huh? To be honest I really do not want that engine anymore lol. How easy was it to get these motors to bump up abit? Just a swap of an earlier year of heads and a potential cam upgrade?

I am going to be using a 71' 455. I have the W-Z 442 manifolds.

Well I decided to just go ahead and have the whole bottom end of the Olds 455 rebuilt the right way by an engine builder instead of just trying to swap in new bearings and taking my chances. With the amount of luck that I have I don't think I should take my chances. I'd also like to throw on a...

Sorry I forgot the specs Jegs supplies if these are to help at all. Flowmaster#389-81093 Manifold Downpipe Kit 1965-67 Oldsmobile 442/Cutlass 400/455 Inlet: 2.25" Outlet: 2.5" 409S Stainless Steel

I was just wondering if anyone has tried these Flowmaster downpipes on their 455 olds G body Cutlass Supreme. I do have the 442 exhaust manifolds that these are made for but I do not know it they will work with the frame or underbelly of the car. Just trying to see what I need to purchase for an...

Alrighty guys thanks. I was a little sketchy about the whole idea but I guess the more I read up about it the more I feel better about it. I have always bought a built and balanced block and did everything else. But my Dad and Uncle has always freshened blocks up that way but they also only...

Has anyone ever done this? Just kinda looked the crank journals over and throw in standard sized bearings. I hear the bottom end of BBO are among the strongest ever made in stock form. So I was wondering if this has been done by any other 455 olds owner. Ive had my Dad and a couple of uncles who...

Just a quick question... when you did the main and rod bearings did you have anything done to the block other than honing? And the crank did you have it turned? I am just now diving into my 455 and I went to go buy main bearings and rod beari gs and I was told to have the crank turned and...
