How much difference is between the rears in a G body and a B body? Its hard to find a B body posi except the cop caprice.

O no, I wasnt gonna remove the cat. Just hollow it and put it back in.

thanks, the cat i can do myself, and the headers sound like a good idea, Who makes decent ones for sbo, hooker? hedman?

I want to remove the cat and smog pump from my 307 olds motor. Aside from the law and environment, what is the best way to go about this???

And the shift linkage should be the same since they both 3 speeds, right?

Has anyone done the swap? What mods are necessary?

If the deals good, and the cars not gonna be a daily driver then dont hesitate. Im looking for a cheap one myself for the 84 Delta 88. The only thing is your gonna need a th400 cause the 200 wont hold a week even to a stock 455

Thanks, it sure is, I thought about that after i posted, but just hoped no one would catch me lol

I thought so and I really hope it is because, from what I remember, and I could be wrong, but the th200 was a real turd.

When you say 6.0, are you referring to the 400 sbc???

Going to buy a '84 Olds Delta 88. It has the carbed 5.0, but i wasnt sure if it has the th350 or the th200, and the owner isnt sure. Can anybody help me please, Thanks

assuming the mounts are the same, and im pretty sure that they are, it would be alot simpler to just drop in the buick 350. The 2.78 rear should be fine, but you should think about upgrading, but not too high b/c you dont have overdrive w/ the th350.

Be VERY careful changing heads on the 400 sbc. Because the 400 was a small block with such a large bore, the 400 heads were specially drilled with steam holes to keep them cool. If you change heads and dont drill steam holes, you are garunteed to overheat.

If you went with the chevy 350, youd need an adapter to use that th350 b/c of dif't bolt patterns. If i were you Id sell/ trade it for a 200r4. Same bolt pattern, plus overdrive, and same length as the th350 so no drive shaft adjustments like the 700r4. As for the buick swap, i believe a olds...

First off, is it a 350 olds block or sbc. Also, you might want to build that th350 with a shift kit. The 300 horse isnt a whole lot, but dep. on shape of trans, and your driving habits, it might not hold long. Or you can run a 200r4 which will bolt right in, and you can run a lockup switch and...

of couse. i wouldnt have asked on this forum had the systems been different, but i knew it was the same, thanks

thanks alot man. and actually its a caprice w a stock 305

what you saying makes alot of sense. Ill probably rebuild the 200r4 and run a lockup switch. As for the fuel return ill probably run the line right alongside the original, but then how do i get it in the tank???

In my opinion, for your purposes, i would def. go with a properly built 200r4. Built right it will hold up just fine, and you have better gears than the 700, plus no adapt plate to deal with. Also even if your not on the highway all the time, when you do get on it will be soooo worth it. Its...

And also, where do you run the return line for the regulator? Does it just go down the frame back to the tank? Im not really sure how that works.
