Hello everyone..I'm glad I stumbled upon this site. I used to go to another olds site but it was'nt as good as this one. This site has a lot of info.

I am trying to decide if what to do with my 78 cutlass. It spent most of its life in NC but its in ohio now. The floors and trunk are fine and the rear bumper shocks are fine also...The bumper itself is going bad.

I have 5.7 vortec engine out of my 2000 express 1500 that I am rebuilding and switching to a carb setup.

Should I put it in the cutlass?

Thanks

Since you asked, my answer is no, you should sell the Vortec and put an Oldsmobile motor in that Oldsmobile. Of course, this is my opinion, and there are lots of different opinions about that here. I think everyone would agree though, if it's a decent car that's worth saving, don't let a decision about a motor hold up the process of fixing the car up. What's wrong with the motor that's in it now?
