Olds307 and 403, Thanks for that link. That chart and info are very helpful. Paul

olds307 and 403, I believe the bracket/pulley assemblies are original to the 455. It has a three belt pulley on the water pump, 2 belt in the crank, and single belt pulleys on both the alternator and power steering pump. The rear pulley of the crank and water pump is not being used, as it...

Hello all, I have an '88 Cutlass that had a 455 installed by a previous owner. When done, they removed the A.C. compressor (as is usually done). This, of course, leaves me with an awesome case of the belt squeals. My ultimate intention is to run a serpentine system on the 455 (probably the...

88HurstOlds, Thanks for the confirmation! Paul

Hi all, I wanted to confirm whether or not my memory is correct. Is it possible to replace engines from different makes (i.e. Chevrolet V8 to Olds V8) by simply changing to the appropriate motor mount? In other words, are all G-body frames the same in this area? Is it just a matter of...

Thank you!

I would like to know if a rear end from an '80s 4-door Cutlass will bolt into a 2-door. Thanks, Paul

It came with the cable and trans bracket. I haven't had a chance to bolt it on my 400, yet. If I find that I need anything, I'll give you a shout. Thanks, Paul

I ended up getting a really nice 3-speed set-up. It works flawlessly and seems to be much smoother in its operation than any of the 4-speed ones I've come across. Thanks for the replies as they helped me to pull the trigger. I look forward to pushing forward with the project this Summer...

88hurstolds, I really appreciate your experienced reply. You've got a beautiful car. Mine is going to be similar, though all black. Thanks, Paul

88hurstolds, Did you change out the rods in your car, or use the three speed's?

I am interested in knowing if anyone has installed a set of three speed Lightning Rods with a TH-400 in their car. I read a post that stated that the rods are longer. Could the rods from a four speed L.R. be put on a three speed L.R. to keep the factory look. Is there anything else that would be...
