ahhhh, this 😡

A lil update for those interested i pulled the pan and its a 4 bolt. Sounds like a good starting point. Going to pull all the rest of internals this week. See what the machine man says. Here go some pics. It has 991 heads and i dont want to use them because they are smog heads. A coworker said...

Thank you all. An absolute fountain of information. I like the idea of rebuilding it. 565BBC and Nick have great ideas. I do like that 355 sbc. And spidereyes is right, thats how i feel about reman engines. But these guys i am looking at are engine specialist not just parts guys slapping a motor...

Lil update, so here is the 350 a body motor a friend gave me, and it is a 010 72-73 light duty truck motor. Has all the smog b.s. Not sure why, but igot it out and brought it to work. Now its in a corner and i am either going to rebuild it or core exchange it. I want to do vortec heads n intake...

i have 235 35 20 tires on it and all i know is they are heavy as hell. Which is why i figured the drivetrain is underpowered to push it. I just want good acceleration on takeoff and cruise on the highway once in awhile, but mostly cruise around town. My choices are a rebuilt motor from summit...

it's a steal, make for a nice flip or a nice starting point

Welcome to the forum Cutlass1965. I had a 65 cutlass as a kid, man i regret selling that car. New families will do that to you tho. I like your cutlass , always did like a console shift. My friend had a regal with console shift and a moonroof, Only one i ever saw like that. Glad to hear you are...

smog inspection sans the inspection

Mine is too, though ive seen and rode big tires on the g bodies. I have seen some threads where they have swapped A body rear ends for the 12 bolt, and Ford 8.8 rears from certain year mustangs with conversion kits and slight modification. Will def check into that when car is apart. But yea you...

To answer some questions, i am doing a hot smog. Smog isnt an issue for this motor. A friend has offered a 350 from a 72 elco, and since that block is pre smog i may go with that (also free). I understand what you guys are saying about tire diameter, but my issue is the heaviness of the 20s and...

Hey guys, just got a break from work and I've been following the thread. I like the idea of roller motors and more hp, but i must say again I am looking for this motor and drivetrain to push 20s with no strain. I want to cruise and jump on the freeway and chirp the tires once in a while and not...

Again thank you all for your input

Would i have convert everything else to aluminum? Radiator, waterpump, intake?

what heads can i use for that route? which are you using? does it have to be vortec heads?

Yes, and will my power steering and alternator need modifiying on a new block for that year? I work in a body shop and have some connects to machinists, so that helps with $. like i said im probably overthinking things but i want more info on how to go about getting what i want out of this car
