    T-Top Center Pillar

    If you just need the plates, you can get them new from gbodyparts.com. They are stainless and they claim that they will never rust again. I have to get a set myself. They also sell the center rail. Just thought I would throw that in.

    should i do this swap

    350 swap I would save up a few extra hundred and go ahead and drop a 350 in it. You can find new, not rebuilt crate motors from different engine suppliers like Scoggins Dickey and others. I have 2 1984 cutlasses that I plan to put different engines in. A 350 in one and a 454 in the other.

He didn't mention anything about knocking or anything. He said he believes the oil pressure sending unit went bad. I think that...
