I found a guy selling one in my area out of a 87 442 . It is complete with 3.73 gears non-posi. Still has the brakes, control arms, and sway bar on it as well. Guy is asking $400.00 for it. Good price or not?

Pierce, NE is only 45 min. from my house, so I went over there and checked it out. Everything there went for insane amounts of money. They also broadcasted it live on the History Channel. The first vehicle they auctioned off was a 58 chevy cameo pickup with 3 miles on it. It also had roof...

So you want to take the plunge, and swap in a LSX engine into your G-body. This is a writeup on core parts you will need to do the swap. The question has been asked A LOT lately, so I thought it would be best to make this write up for everyone. Finding an Engine First thing first finding...

My cutlass had 60/40 split seats from the factory. I found a set of bucket seats, council, and shifter out of a Monte Carlo locally for a $100. Are they are direct bolt in from the 60/40? If not what pieces do I need to get them installed including the council? thanks.

Well, I decided to do some work on the car today. The previous owner had a bra on the front end. I took the bra off and found out why they put it on. The header panel is shot, and all the mounts for the grill's are broken. They actually used the ties on the bra to hold the grills in. the...

I am in the process of doing a 5.3 LS swap in my cutlass. A local guy on Craigslist http://siouxcity.craigslist.org/pts/3777293915.html has a radiator\dual fan setup for sale for $100.00. He says the fans are out of a GTP grand Prix, and the radiator is out of a g-body. I really don't need...

I bought a 85 Cutlass Supreme project last winter. The car had no engine in it, but came with a TH-200C trans in unknown shape. The frame rails and body are in good shape, with very little rust. Not an easy task to find in the upper Midwest. The half vinyl top is shot through. The weather is...

I bought a set of 8.5" 28 spline axle shafts from him. UPS lost them, and he went out of his way to make sure they found them, and got to me. He also kept me well informed about the whole process, and made sure I was happy with the parts when they got here. A+.

Spring is finally starting to arrive, and i'm starting on my LS swap into the Cutlass project. I'm looking for suggestions on what color to paint the engine when I get it back from the machine shop? A couple of guys I know suggested black or Chevy orange, but it seems everyone paints engines...

A few weeks ago I nailed a deer with my daily driver. I finally got all the insurance stuff sorted out, and got the car able to drive again. I came home from work tonight, and found out that some A=holes went through my Cutlass, and tried to steel my cd-player out of my truck. Luckally I had...

I was on my way home from work last night, and I ended up smacking a large doe with my daily driver. At least the radiator didn't get popped, and the air bags didn't go off. I hit it in the left corner of the car at about 65 mph. the deer actually flew over the top of the car, and ended up in...

I just bought a 5.3 LS salvage yard pull out for my 85 Cutlass Supreme. I am doing a head port job, cam upgrade, and carb setup with the engine. What swap mounts are you guys using for the g-body? I'm having a hard time finding the right ones. What full length headers will fit in a g-body...

I am doing a 5.3 LS swap for my 85 cutlass. I will also be using a 200-4r transmission(built up of course). It will be used as a street car. I am putting in a little bit larger cam(nothing wild), and home porting the heads on the 5.3. My question is with the rearend. Right now it has a...

I'm in the process of building a 85 Olds cutlass. I'm in the process of upgrading the rear end, since its a 7.5 non-posi and has 2.14 gears. I bought a posi unit and a set of 3.42 gears out of a mid 90's camaro. I know they have 28 spline axles, where mine has 26 spline ones. I also know 28...
