1980 Cutlass project from Finland

Is a converter and a turbine same thing :lol: Sorry for my bad english.

And a guy here in Finland modifyish stock turbines to lift the stall to 2200-2300rpm:s. That should be fine for me.

You will that 2300 stall converter, mine flashes there. If you opened up the bowls under the exhaust valves, your heads will actually flow on par with early heads.

2300 is about as high as you want. I had a 2500 and it was just a little too high. Took it off right away

 

[Pasikiainen]

Yup I think it will be fine for me, dont want to go any higher with that stall speed...

Another good thing is that is still has a lock up, cause its been modified from stock turbine.

Now I just need scramble under the car and change that transmission 😀

Tried to inspect (MOT here in Finland, dont know do you need to do that in States, but here in Finland u need to do that yearly) Cutlass the other day, everything else was good, but front discs were too thin!

AC Delco from local partshop 8) I already had pads bought earlier...

Little difference, have to admit!

Everything went well, until I bushed pistons to calipers... they started to leak brakefluid, so I need to re-do those calipers

awesome work!

 

[Pasikiainen]

Thanks!

Bought little bit of parts, for the brakes and for the 200r4 conversion 🙂

Calipers ready to go back to car 8) I guess tomorrow Cutlass will be ready for now 🙂

Looks great so far! I definitely like the wheels/tires, in combination with the suspension and stance...I just might have to copy you on that :lol:
