    GBotM June '17 - CONGRATS Regalman 08!

    Congrats. That color is something serious! That regal is nice. This is just my opinion but I think that regal would look even better if you took the mud flaps off and took off the chrome trim too.

    #5 heads on late Olds 350 (1977)

    So it is not 123 easy!!! That sucks. I was thinking a head swap would have been beneficial but now I'm hearing that the rest of the valve train may not even hold up. I was really not wanting to purchase another core. If I had to purchase another block I would want a 403 or 455. However, I'm...

    #5 heads on late Olds 350 (1977)

    Thanks guys. I should mention that my pistons and cam are stock. I have no intentions of replacing the pistons but I would change out the cam if necessary. I'm really trying not to go too deep into the motor at this time. I have an Edelbrock RPM intake, 3.42 gears with posi (7.5 rear...

    #5 heads on late Olds 350 (1977)

    I'm going to keep my question short and to the point. I have a 1977 Oldsmobile vin R 350 with 3a heads. If I replace those heads with the early #5 heads (port, polished, divider weld, new valves, springs, etc) what would happen performance wise? I know about enlarging the head bolt holes...

    Backspacing

    Thanks FE3X. I wish there was a larger selection of bolt on g body wheels. if the 5.25" is close, I will see if I can get away with using a spacer.

    Backspacing

    Need a little help on backspacing on my 1983 Cutlass. Will a 18x9 rear with 5.25" backspacing work? I'm not sure on tire sizes but whatever is the biggest tire that will fit is what I would like. Perhaps a 275/35/18 in the rear (245/40/18 front). Thanks.

    Help with wheels

    Would the widths and backspacing be an issue?

    Help with wheels

    Will these 20x8.5 and 20x10 wheels work? Specifically will the backspacing work? Here is a link to the site. http://www.showwheels.com.au/pdf/AULISSW.pdf Thanks

    box liner or body paint

    Originally, was the bed body colored or black? That would give you a better idea of which route to take. Personally I like the black bed liner look. It's more durable.

    1987 Olds Pro-touring project build - Now with paint

    Re: 1987 Olds Pro-touring project build *LONG* I've been following this build for a long time now. This is a testament to the fact that you can't rush perfection. Can't wait to see it finished. Did you ever get those wheels? I looked into the Vendor that sold them and apparently they are...

    rear spoiler

    FE3X, I see I am not the only one that likes that look. Do you have any actual pictures of the rear of your car that you can post? Do your tips extend over the tail lights? Cutlass' should have came with this type of spoiler from the factory as an option. Something is needed on the back to...
