    Thinking of selling my wheels and tires, what's a fair price?

    So I've had these in my garage for a couple of years, and I've more or less decided there's no real reason to keep them as I don't think I'll be getting another Cutlass in the future to use them on which is why I was saving them. I switched to the Year One 17" Olds Rallye wheels, and highly...

    CU162 Radiator

    Have had the Holley Frostbite FB163 3 row aluminum in mine since 2016. It's been great, no issues.

    78Delta88 Actually MY bad, I'm the one that's confused....I thought you were the OP....I re-read and see that you're trying to help as much as I am so no worries. I think OP just needs to sort out which combination of trans/flexplate/engine combination he's got and go from there. One thing...

    Is that a stock bellhousing photo you pulled from the internet? That's not the same transmission type you show in your pics in prior post? You have older transmission bellhousing that isn't like this picture you posted, you're confusing some things here. Your pic shows a typical 700R4, 2004R...

    Someone else may also be able to chime in and/or confirm. The mini starter I'm using with the non-staggered bolts is for the smaller 153 tooth flex plate. I believe if you have a staggered bolt starter which is for the larger 168 tooth flex plate and the 153 tooth flex plate starter won't...

    Engine fan sitting higher.

    If you didn't touch the engine mounts, and just removed the crossmember and rear trans mount, there's no possible way that I'm aware of that you could end up with the engine being in a different position that it was before you remove the crossmember and trans. Something else is going on and I'm...

    Engine fan sitting higher.

    I would say the only way this is possible, assuming the fan (from your picture) is now higher and tilted back from the radiator vertical plane has to be that you didn't re-assemble the crossmember, and/or rear transmission mount properly? Did you replace any of that in the process of R & R of...

    Holy crap... that's scary to think about what could have happened. Glad you're taking action to get it all corrected!

    I completely agree with Built6spdMCSS , you're asking for specifics but that's kind of difficult without seeing specifically what you're working with. My recommendation with this is if you have someone local (friend or repair shop) you can bring it to, that might be the best bet since when it...

    Auto to manual regulator swap

    This might help, notice the electric regulator mounts horizontally with the four rivet holes, the manual regulator mounts on a 45 degree angle with it's four rivet holes. See the pics in the article. https://www.elcaminocentral.com/threads/power-to-manual-window-conversion-tutorial.244038/...

    Thanks for the compliments! 17x8 all around with 245/45R17 Goodrich G-Force comp-2 I bought two extra wheels from year one to put on shelf In case they decide to discontinue and I damage one. I've thought about dechroming in the past along with doing the H/O front aero pieces but always...

    SBC 388 with 153 tooth flexplate. Agreed, I only bother with Duralast Gold New components. Oddly many places want core charges for NEW as well as REMAN items.

    I think mines currently a Remy, I usually go with ACDelco when available no reason other than decent brand name. It's a pretty big dice roll these days with starters, alternators, etc so much so that I've started just getting the Duralast Gold stuff from AZ for friends and family. Lifetime...

    Nice, I wanted to do that but went with the inline tube stainless oem style lines and they run right under starter. My old plain steel lines had couplers I could easily undo these are one piece and didn't want to cut n flare, etc..oh well.

    The one I note above is MINI sized and goes in n out without touching the my header. They're ARH 1 7/8" primary tubes. I had a power master in there that I hated... It never turned quietly without squeaking and chirping and we spent time trying to shim it properly both starter to engine and...

    Sounds like a bad (Bendix) starter drive, replace the starter imho unless you wanted to rebuild it but that's up to you. Not worth the time/effort these days, if that's a standard SBC starter, they're so cheap and plenty types to choose from full size stock replacement, and multitudes of mini...
