Good day everyone... Been following the site as a guest and I must say. I like the love and help everyone shows on this site and I just had to join...
I'm the owner of a 1988 Olds Cutlass Brougham.. I inherited the car with an Olds 350/400 packaged I believe out of a late 70's full size olds and the brougham quarter top removed which i'm contemplating putting back or removing. It runs pretty good now with AC.. I've had the car for about 2 months now and so far(with the help of this site), I've added an electric fan out of a ford v8 thunderbird. The 36mm hollow sway bar upgrade and also the moog 5664 front coil springs(which I will be taking out and re-installing them for the moog 5660 front coils).. Other than that besides a basic tune up that's where I am with the car.. Future mods are-
rear sway bar upgrade along with 3.73 ratio gears
Lt1/4l60 swap
Interio upgrades
Paint/body..

Stay tuned and thanks all in advance for assistance.. I'm open to comments,, it helps to make sure I'm doing things correctly..

Hey everyone....
I thought I could upload pics from my mobile device but seems like I'm unable to, so I'll work on that after softball practice...
I'm in Tallahassee.. It's a couple of gbodies around town...
I've been thinking about the LS swap,, just need to do a lot more research before I attempt it.. It'll be a winter time project.. I guess you can say my Xmas gift.. LoL

NOt very difficult in my opinion. Parts are getting less expensive by the minute as 99-up trucks, vans and suv's are hitting the the salvage yards. Plue its a lot more user friendly once everything is up and running.. If you have any ?s just lmk. Also check out,if you havent already, ls1tech.com. On their hybrids and conversions forum, there is athread strictly on gbody ls conversions.I got a lot of info there.
