Sweet car man looks good. Just wondering how the install on the 350 was. I have been told it's really difficult to install a chevy in a olds

Nice score on the Cutlass! Its great to see an other young guy like myself ( just turned 21) building a ride with some style instead of some riced up honda with a 4" exhaust tip lol. Keep up the good work!

X2 aha but I'm only 17 and I'm building up my Monte SS but that cutlass is gonna be sick. good luck!

it was actually quite simple, just have to switch around some engine mounts, the holes were already drilled in my frame for various placements. not to difficult at all in my opinion....shoot i did half of it with a broken arm lol.

thanks guys, its running real good right now, just has a sliggggght oil leak and has a case of run on, nothing too hard to fix.

and yes i stuck with the stock 200-r4 due to the universal bell housing and lack of funds, i'm looking to upgrade sometime soon here though because mines starting to slip..

Tore the engine out again, I went out and bought a 1978 corvette 350, 4 bolt main, that i was going to build into a 383 stroker but seeing as to the fact that High School nationals are on the 28th of April I don't have the time or money to do so.

so instead I pulled my engine again and am going to put in new flat top pistons, new rings, and a set of 1/6th ratio roller rockers.

also upgrading to a 700r4 transmission and a auburn posi with a 3:42 ring and pinion for the rear end

i'll post pictures soon
