86 olds cutlass with fresh olds 350

[86g]

well i just got my engine swap finished, cranked up and running correctly. The olds 350 is running good. I bought it off craigslist with a 350 transmission, high rise intake, headers and fresh rebuild. All for 500 dollars. I had a few bugs to work out put a holley 600 vacuum secondary carb, flowtech headers, msd hei with accel super coil, accel wires, and plugs. The engine has a solid lifter cam so it ticks a little from that but that's normal. The cam is old school, but with the #5 heads and 10.5/1 compression and dual exhaust i'm looking for some serious performance, once i get the rear gears changed. I have learned a lot on here from all the guys on here and must say this is the best forum on the web for us cutlass guys. Im going to post some more pics in the morning and try to get a sound bite on here to if i can figure out how to.
Everybody keep up their builds and long live the g body. I must say that there are some kickass cars on here and i love reading about all of them

You probably would pick up a lot from a converter. 3.08, 3.23, or with say 28 tall tires on back maybe a 3.42 gear. Also check out www.oldspower.com and www.realoldspower.com. Thats very cheap for the parts it has even if it was very rough.

Nice lookin' car!

Just be careful pulling into driveways with those exhaust tips...
Get a couple friends in the back or pull into a steep driveway and CRUNCH! :shock:
I've had to bend back the smashed tips on my Caprice with a pliers a couple dozen times...
