fleming442, pontiacgp it's kind of bent but not really more pushed up just enough to notice the bolt hole location difference from side to side. But the new control arms bolt right in no problems at all, everything lines up and is straight but I'll take measurements here in a couple days and see...
Thanks for the replies everyone, the pics may be hard to see but it's the best I could do I live in Ohio and its been nothing short of rain for 3 months straight. The car drove well when I bought it 3yrs ago doing 90+ mph on the highway for 1 1/2hrs, no shaking,swaying things like that and...
Hello I went to swap out my rear LCA's for some non adjustable ones and noticed my driver side mount has a 1/4 to 1/2 difference in bolt hole reference point to my passenger side. The new control arms bolt in no problems but the original's on the driver were a pain to remove and were noticeably...
Man thats a clean Cutlass, I never liked the euro look until i bought my 86 and 87 lol . How far away are you from dropping everything in and having it on the road.
Hell yeah keep us updated on trials and errors that type of engineering is way out of my league lol. And i would get you pics of my cables but they're long gone all i have is the pedal, have you tried summit racing or jegs for some lokar cables they'll get you in the ballpark far as the length...
Man its crazy how many options and routes you can go with these gbodys. And take as much time as you need this is my 3rd year with my cutlass and its seen a sbc, olds small block, LS swap and more than likely a big block swap. I plan on taking the body off the frame and bracing it when it warms...
Those control arms look to be for a stock rear end gbody, the A-Body rear end you have needs the 12 bolt swap arms from UMI or South Side Machine or some other reputable vendor/dealer or it will bind and be an uncomfortable drive unless your control arm bushings are wore out and take up the slop...
Its cool man its never to late to learn about cars especially if you plan on building and keeping them. But there's a couple options 350th,400th are the simplest and can be built for a reasonable price. 2004r,700r4 (3 speeds w/overdrive) can be built to handle whatever but they cost some change...
I used the UMI 12 bolt swap adjustable upper and lower control arms cost me $395.97 do you know what year the 8.2 is, I only ask because different A-Body years have different rear end widths
Lol man they do require finesse but I think they're worth it and it gives me a reason to check everything under the hood so I can replace or revise something I missed. But which trans did you have in mind summit racing and jegs have the crossmembers for gbodys to run whichever trans you want as...
The wires zip tied together on top of the brake booster look like they go to the engine maybe oil pressure switch, temp switch things like that I remember when i took my olds 350 out it had wires spliced everywhere from a sbc to olds pretty much a spaghetti explosion. The relay idk someone might...
I'm not judging whichever route you go you'll enjoy it the carb setup is simple, efi well I'm with you its a head scratcher lol. The 4sp manual is so so I'd look for a t56 from a 99-02 LS1 fbody that way you can get all the parts for the motor and trans at the same time. If you get one from a...
Not sure if you found the answer you were looking for but Speedway Motors and Amazon sell this kit its called;
E-Stopp Push Button Electric Emergency Brake Kit With Billet Button / ESK001
Thats what its called on Amazon was looking into doing a hydro ebrake but its a temporary disc or drum...
Hello everyone I have an 84 Olds Cutlass Calais I picked up 2 years ago. It’s been a on going project due to a couple set backs with shops and motor issues, and previous owners putting their hands on it. I’m not new to G-Bodys I’ve had 8, 6 Cutlasses and 1 El Camino and now this one. But my...
