    CUTLASS Ready or not here I come...

    I really want to crank her over this week. I still need cooling fans and exhaust. I have to wait until the end of the month to buy the exhaust system, so I bought a 24 inch long piece of exhaust pipe to put on the header. I have to prime the engine, add fluids, and set up the Terminator. I...

    On the 'mildly' Cheap SS Monte Carlo chasing a 9.0___

    My crank snout had some serious wear on it. I'm assuming from about a year ago when I found the balancer bolt loose. I never noticed it when I swapped to the SFI balancer because the wear was inside the front cover. So off to finding a crank - and finding a used 58 tooth crank that doesn't need...

    Buick 350

    That 2k or whatever the seller spent would've been way better spent on making the bottom end bullet proof and porting the stock heads.

    350 olds motor

    ...heads just need a bowl hog on the exhaust side to equal early heads and flat top pistons to bring up compression. My two sets measured 77 to 78cc. Plus the block is solid main, as strong as any gas 350. The crank is lightweight and weaker but should be no issue at 300 HP, 400 is the suggested...

    On the 'mildly' Cheap SS Monte Carlo chasing a 9.0___

    ...left side at DW ‘22 and made an ‘in the field’ repair. Both times I’ve broken the left side was beating on it on the street with the rebound cranked up on the shocks on not so smooth road. The scramble button doubles as the bump. It has to be wired into the main harness (not the dash) to...

    BUICK The Final Objective (Mission Accomplished, 7/23)

    Rock auto has a .020 .020 crank with bearings for $250 Stock pistons in .040, .060 and .080 oversize for under $100. Cams are out of stock so can't get a price there. Just get the block bored over and the cam bearings put in and do the rest your self and it will be fairly inexpensive.

    Hei distributer and roller cam question

    It was the dreaded .491 vs .500. I never experienced this problem before but since using a .500 the sucker fits.

    Problem 200r4

    ...only things left are issue with front pump or converter. Because it basically acts like a manual with the clutch going out, the only thing left is fluid coupling which provides Crank RPM to the input shaft and then to the gear sets and on to the wheels... About only thing left is bad converter.

    Best olds 350 starter

    ...They made a zillion of them and if it will spin a 455 hi compression engine, it'll spin your 355. All those millions of cars GM built back then cranked over with a Delco starter. The quickest way to tell the difference between a hi-torque and regular Delco starter is to look for the...

    Lifter valley holes plugged??'s

    ...end. Should be able to drill the plugs out, make sure to get close to the center of the original hole and drill out with a 1/2" drill then chamfer the entry side of the holes a lot. The windage screen is good to have. Does it have one on top of the crank too? Some info from 1970 for oiling...

    What did you do to your shop today?

    How has the propane use been? Curious how much has it used and are you keeping it heated at all times or just when you are working out there?

    CUTLASS The new guy

    ...year old motor will need machine work. There are multiple modern pistons and rods available for the Olds 350. There is even a 4" Billet stroker crank with a cheaper forged version coming available. Uses LS rods and pistons as part of the kit, I believe. Edelbrock is coming out with a 68cc...

    ...couldn’t have that and built a different 350 for it 1 of the 16 lifters are good. Well time to start shopping Took it down a little further crank looks good but clearly had some trash ran through it probably from the failing lifters so bearing on the list, might as well dingle ball the...

    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2023]

    ...I run them in. Same/same for the brake line nuts, just a thin wipe of the stuff on both the nut threads and also on the tube where the nut sits, then crank the nut down tight. It's not a cure but it does help if you ever have to go back in and wrench the circuit on a regular basis. Nick

    1988 Cutlass Supreme Classic SBC Build

    ...with the 3.73's. I think overdrive is a great idea, but I don't agree that we should drive the engine rpm so far down. The cam is oiled by crank splash so having it lug down the highway at 1500 may sound good for gas mileage, but I feel its better being up around 2000-2200 at whatever your...

    BUILD THREAD 87 Cutlass EFI build: 9/13/23..NEW STUFF!

    Brakes feel way better with disc all around. I wasn't too hard on them since I was breaking in the pads, but the difference is noticeable for sure Jim.
