I need help with s v6 cutlass swap to a 307 do i need any thing special to make thr swap happen im buying a whole cutlass in which i will be takeing the motor from

it depends do u plan on keeping all the factory carb an intake, along wit the smog an emission stuff

Yeah its just going to be a swap i plan on getting a new intake and carb next summer im just trying to drive my baby again

the thing wit a v8 is tht ur intake is going to b for a four barrel which your carb is going to b four barrel too..so the connections tht u have for tht v6 two barrel may not match up to tht four barrel....so altercations may need to b made to the harness....but if u got a carb at least u can eliminat alot of vacums tht u dont need..plus it'll give u a lil bit more horse power...an if uk add headers tht'll free up alot of space under thr too......

I just ordered some headers because the 307 im putting in already has a mild cam in it. So i might just get a carb to but should i get the 700 or 600?

A stock 307 with a mild cam can barely use a 500 cfm carb.

If you go with the 307 make sure it has the 5a heads.If it has the 7a heads the intake ports are tiny.Just a head swap to the 5a's a Edelbrock Performer intake,Dual Exhaust,a Regular HEI Distributor ( Non Computer Controlled), and a Good Q-jet carb will really wake that 307 up.......and a Nitrous kit with 125Hp pills in it is even more fun. :wink:
