    CZF Governor behind an Olds 355

    I have the opportunity to grab an 87 CZF 200 4r trans. From everything I've found, it should live behind my mildly built olds 355 (9:1, rv cam) But, I have one question concerning the governor. Should I leave it or swap it out for one that was in the OZ or KZF trans used in the 442's. I've read...

    Cam Suggestions?

    I'm sure this has been asked a million times over, but I can't find it. So here goes. Putting together an Olds 1975 355 running at about 9.1:1. Got 72 7a heads that were freshly rebuilt when I bought them. Seriously considering the stock 262/274 #402486 olds grind from supercarsunlimited.com...

    O2 sensor in an exhaust manifold

    Hi all, Doing the 307 to 350 swap and I have a question reguarding the o2 sensor. I have an 87 cutlass with the "y" 307 motor. So, I have all the nasty parts (SS manifolds, 7A heads, etc.). I scored a complete 350 for really cheap with the manifolds. What I was wondering is if I can drill and...

    350 Olds, what to do?

    So, I picked up a 1973 olds 350 complete including trans for a song. Wanted to build it up a little with stock parts to drop it into my 87 cutlass. Happened to find a set of rebuilt 7a heads. Now, as I'm talking with the guy, he offers me a rebuilt 1975 350, with crank and pistons. The block is...

    C3 Corvette Wheels on a Cutlass

    Ok, I know this is probably been beat to death but, I haven't found anything that relates to my particular situation.

    307 to 350 olds

    Hi all, I hadn't really planned on this, but I literally had a 69 olds 350 handed to me. So, I'm gonna drop it into my 87 cutlass. I'm going to freshen it up a bit with new gaskets, oil pump, etc. However, there is one caveat, which is why I am here. I would like it to look as bone stock as...

    Speedometer gear housing: Neverseize?

    So, after 4 days of PB Blaster and trying to be nice to my speedometer gear housing, I finally dropped the trans and took a pipe wrench to it. Needless to say, I need a new one. Which is on order. But, my question is installing it. Would it be beneficial to smear some never seize on it or will...

    Chrome touch up?

    Ok, stupid question time. Get a set of chrome rally's for practically nothing. But, there is one small problem. Some of the chrome has started to peel and rust. Obviously nothing will replace the look of chrome but, does any one have any suggestions to "touch up" the "bald" spots until I can...

    87 cutlass axle swap

    Ok, I have a 1987 cutlass that is Bone Stock. 307 y, th200r4, and a 2.56 open rear. It has the motive force of a wet sponge.
