    Happy Birthday to me!

    OK, my B-day isn't until Aug. but my dad called me up last week and said he had an early b-day gift for me. Now he lives a few hours away and he told me to bring my truck so the wife and I drove up to Michigan to his house. Lo and behold, he had a Olds 350 with a TH400 transmission attached to it...

    Need second opinion from the experts!!

    So I took my 86 Cutlass Salon to the mechanic's yesterday because its been running really rough since the cold weather started in. Car/motor has 82k on the 307 and the previous owner removed the A.I.R./smog stuff. So after the mechanic looked it over, he determined that I probably have a few...

    Are all 307's basically the same?

    So I have my 86 Salon that needs some engine work and I also have a 307 out of an 83 delta that I could save myself some time by having it rebuilt while i'm driving the car still. I know there is a difference in the heads but could I take the block, internals and the heads on the 83 and drop...

    Total custom G-body

    Hey guys, it's been long enough so I decided to begin my 81 Cutty Brougham project. This will no doubt be a 1-2 year labor of love project for me. Now, I realize that in the custom world, as with G-Bodies, it's either love it or hate it. I am 200% positive that this will be the case with mine...

    remove ECU from 231?

    What would i have to do to remove the ECU off of my 81 231? Building a custom car and right now i can't exactly afford to upgrade the motor to the Olds 350 that i eventually will have. I'm not even sure what all the computer controls.

    Isn't this a bit backwards?

    So i have 2 Cutty's..86 Salon 307 and 81 Brougham with 231. The 231 has a TH350 bolted up to it and the 307 has a 200Metric. Would it be better to swap them or would it even matter? Both motors are bone stock
