[Clutch]

I'm not shore yet I need to see what it has I'm guessing it has 3.42? I'm thinking I'm going to run a 29-9-15 with a 3.73 but I'm not sure yet

Just thinking about what else I've dun to this car when I put the 4.11 rear in I did Hime joint adjustable upper trailing arms and square tube lowers. A aluminum girdled cover and a drive shaft hoop. When it got it's first 455 it also got a cross member from cross member.com the Hooker headers were from a chocho customs SS El Camino that had a Diesel and someone else put a 455 in it we put a SBC in it and I kept the headers I'm shore there's more I just don't remember when I get back on it I'll post pictures tho so you can chime in anytime

Nice project. If you need any parts, I'm in DE. What's up with the jet boat? A total wash?? I've been looking for a jet boat project.

The upgraded rear suspension should help a lot with launch, especially with slicks at the track.

The jet boat went in a tub grinder

View attachment 65211 View attachment 65212 View attachment 65213 it's all about the small details like that key release

Nice work, Clutch, looking forward to this project and any updates.
I noticed you have S-10 columns. Are you using a S-10 column for the key release? do you remove the internals and swap them or are you putting the s-10 column in the cutlass?

I'm not shore yet I'm probably going to just build one wit a g-body column and the upper portion of an s-10 column unless I mesure length and it goes right in but then I still need to change the lock and switches to chrome from the olds

Oh OK I've read this article on using a s-10 key release mechanism: http://garage-scene.com/t5-into-ag-body/t5_install_steering_column.htm
But I'm not too sure on how it all goes together.

I'm sure I will. Right now I'm trying to finish my (78 W-31 Cutlass) but as far as I know I'm just missing a few trinkets for it I tried to get rid of that jet boat on Craigslist after I pulled the motor and the dumb questions got me so mad I gave it to my brother he sold the jet drive and the oldamoboat parts used the trailer for his boat and the Sea Ray went to a recycling center so tub grinder.

When I do mine I'll make it look easy and I'll post pictures on here for everyone if I have enough parts left over I'll build my Uncle one for his 81 454 ST-10 Cutlass also I built him that car 20-25 years ago lol wow I'm getting old!

Clutch, if you do I will be forever grateful, now if I could get my hands on an s10 manual steering column! Haha
It doesn't seem to complicated, it is something I will need to do in the future.
Almost finished rebuilding my Saginaw. De-burred all the gears, just need to load in the needle bearings then I'll be ready for assembly so I will be swapping in my manual transmission hopefully by August.
