This might be one of those questions people shake their head at, but Ill ask anyway. I was just curious as to how I could go about cleaning my quadrajet without taking it all apart. Can I just soak it in carb cleaner or something? Im sure the gaskets will have to be replaced if I did this...

the motor was complete when I gotit. it came with all the accessories(ps pump, starter, etc). What you said about the 307 and 403 being the same might not be totally true, because I got a ps pump off a 307 and it didnt fit, the cap would hit that aluminum alternator bracket coming off the...

Ya Ill probably go get a proper 403 fan. Also I have the th400 that came with the engine, and apparently I need to have the driveshaft shortened but dont know how Id go about doing that, or what length it would be. Your car is awesome to Blake

Well I picked up a 79 403 to replace the 305 in my 84 cutlass and was curious about a few changes I might need to make since a few of you guys have probably done this. Will the 403 oil pan work? Also I need to replace the clutch fan but the one I got from the wreckers was off a 307 (thinking it...

I was looking through kijiji today and saw this car in brampton ontario. Thought id share.. http://london.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles ... Z143214105

The dealership I bought my G5 at was selling a newer Aston Martin Vantage for $107 000. I swear if they wanted like 5 grand it wouldve been mine. Damn it

Ok so the 403 Im buying came with transmission. At first i hoped it would be 350 for an easy swap (from 200), But now im thinking its a 400. The motor and transmission were in the car still and i couldnt get under the car to see the pan/count the bolts. They are in a '79 Olds 98 so 400 seems more likely...

Thats good to know about the transmission mounts and drive shaft. The car already has true duals with the factory x-member notched with c-channel. Im probably going to put headers on with exhaust dumps attached then weld to existing exhaust. Engine probably wont be going in for atleast a month to...

Well i decided on the 403 but this one is a 79 from a olds 98, comes with the th350. Will the mounts from that 98 work? Also can i use my original crossmember with the 350. I might be replacing the carb, andthe one on my 305 is an edelbrock 1406(625 i think), would that be a good enough carb...

I have a chance to buy either a 77 olds 403 with edelbrock performer intake says its rebuilt with 10k km, or a 78 olds 350, Im guessing stock. I can also get a set of 72 7a heads for the 403. Just wondering should I just get the 350. Or get the 403, keep the original heads/ put the 350 heads...

i didnt think i needed to worry about my grand prix but it got stolen out of my girlfriends driveway and she lives in a family neighbourhood. got it back a year later though, after the indians used it for their joy rider around the reserve for a year. bastards, and i had to pay to get it out...

my 305 has a edelbrock carb 1406 electric choke 600cfm. now im curious about setting the screws properly and what considerations i have to make. will stuff like fuel line size, air cleaner/filter size etc effect how i should set them or is there a "standard" setting for them. thanks

hey man first off great build. i was just curious, on page 2 where youre cutting the outer wheel well, did you just leave it how it looks or did you weld in a piece. my 84 cutlass has rot on the drivers side front fender lip and rotted the wheel well along the top where it screws to the...

i had duals put on my 84 cutlass at a custom exhaust shop for $350 and that included notching the crossmember. i supplied the mufflers so total it was about $400. no cats.

i wish to locate and destroy whatever it is that makes the long beep when the headlights are left on after the car is off. who can tell me where i can find it, what it looks like, and how to kill it. or which wire going to the switch i can cut. thanks and its an 84 supreme
