Cool ! Let me know . From what I read from the application guide , this kit should work for all G-Body applications. Rear disc conversion ? Cheers

Piggy backing off another thread. I had seen two t-types in a GM high tech perf mag with Baer brake systems installed. The kit looks interesting and modern. Has anyone utilized them with their own application? Wouldn't it be a good idea to upgrade the master cylinder , etc. , since you'd...

Stock as opposed to my lincoln which has a ton of suspension goodies the Olds handles like a station wagon. Understeer/Over steer , wallowing , sloppy steering response. After I have a better idea as to what my tire size will be (ride height) I was wondering what my options are. A friend...

Thats the one ! Group A fitted the shoes for that car, and according to your pics thats the right tire size. Great looking car.

Its hard for me to make a decision because I'd love to put somethin a little more fuel economical into my 83 Olds. For a while I was considering something fuel injected but squashed the idea. ttyperocket - what do you get for gas mileage with the 455? Horsepower #'s ? Theres a definite...

With MAACO and Earl Scheib I've always been told to slip the guy who actually paints your car $20 so that he takes the time not to overspray. My buddies have all gone down the MAACO/Earl Scheib route and have had some pretty interesting applications. If I were you I'd find a good local shop...

I had a GM High Tech Performance catalog with an awesome set of T-Type/Grand Nationals featured. Both guys used Simmons F Series wheels. I went over the Group A Auto site and noticed that they sell these wheels in 17"-19". So my big question is fitment? The Group A site has a ton of GN's...

Good Point. The rest of the lid is immaculate. But actually addressing the rust from the inside would be interesting.

Re: More on 83 Olds Cutlass Engine swaps Thanks for the info. What about stock HP numbers ? Olds 307 , 350 , 455 ?

Re: source for parts Thanks to the both of you for the info. I'll check that site to see if they have a lid. You know you'd think for a best selling car(as mentioned) there would be a larger aftermarket available.

Its shame because the rest of the trunk is in great shape. You think the rust would spread throughout ? I guess I need to address it since I'm in the process of scouting a paint color. Any sites online that offer trunk lids? Thanks

Re: More on 83 Olds Cutlass Engine swaps Thanks for all the info. Joe, Totally correct in saying it is a Buick V6. The crate engine I had installed was a souped up V6 . I ran into a ton of problems because of non-existent smog controls, EGR etc. From what you guys are telling me I...

Thanks ! Was it an upholstery shop?

I bet you haven't seen one like this at work :wink: Click on SVPU Link for a build history. http://www.svpu.com/projects/LSCR1/index.html Car Domain Site http://www.cardomain.com/ride/759913

I'm not sure about the "swappability" of certain interior pieces. I swapped parts out of an 87 Olds Cutlass into my 83 and they didn't match at all. Parts I swapped were the pillar moulding that runs around the Opera windows all head roof moulding , rear window deck from the plastic to...

BTW- http://www.1aauto.com/ http://www.partstrain.com Do carry allot of weatherstripping parts. Besides actually finding a donor do which is pretty hard around here , is there any site online that sells Window Dew sweeps for an 83 Olds Cutlass Supreme? Thanks

I noticed that there is a dime size rust spot surfacing around the Oldsmobile emblem on my 83 Olds. I opened the trunk reached into the cavity behind the trun and found its rusting from the inside out. Is this something that could be addressed and permanently stopped professionally ? Or would a...

What about for an 83 Olds Cutlass ? I believe there was a site online. Would the VIN also go over original interior colors etc.? Thanks in advance

What do these Landau/carriage tops run? I've seen a few people mention on the other forums that an auto upholstery shop would charge $200-400. The GM parts site claimed that a replacement top runs around $1500 ?

Currently have an 83 Olds Cutlass Supreme 2D V6 231 3.8L that is absolutely immaculate. About 4-5 years ago I had bought a rebuilt V6 stock replacement , that supposedly came with a bunch of goodies(or at least so I thought). Wiped the cam twice and here I am. Since I already have a 300+HP...
