My Cutlass Supreme has an exhausted Olds 260 and original transmission which is pretty much shot!. My first purchase was from craigslist.. 73 olds Th350 transmission and 350 engine. The seller threw in an quad carb, torque converter, transmission lines, Alternator, starter. The mounts are with the engine.

I purchased my cutlass in 2018 and got it to start. It leaks gas really bad so i tried to replace the fuel pump and noticed there was no filter. The undercarriage has oil/fuel build up. I dumped the transmission oil and it was black like motor oil. Reading some of the wonderful threads on here I made the purchase of the transmission and engine. I plan to have the engine swapped in the very near future.

I need an exhaust.. suggestions? Headers?? I want a weekend street car not for racing but i would like a little pep.

This is going to be a journey but i would like to stay low in cost. I'll post pics for anymore build suggestions.

I like Pypes. They're a good value for the money (mandrel bent stainless) and their mufflers sound similar to the more expensive brands like Magnaflow and Borla.

PoR 15 is my "go to choice" of engine enamels.
They have an Olds Gold that would be perfect for your 350 Rocket;
The instructions need to be followed for a good job.
