Wanned to create a build ive started,i have a 88 cutlass i bought about 7 years ago,im the second owner,Im now stable enough in my life to pick and poke at it,ive redone the chassis,the frame is a-1,I have tubular upper and lowers in the rear,3.42 posi(but's it a 7.5)i redid the interior with monte ss seats,console,shifter.Unsure what im gonna do with it this winter i know custom dash,its gonna be powered by a 455 pontiac thats punched to a 469 with all the bells and whistles(all done w/ turbo 350 transpak,3200 stall),hoping when its done i get around low 400 rwp on the dino, its plumbed for my 250hp juice,but that will be a while.i have a bunch of pics,im just not that great at computers as i am cars so im still tring to figure how to show you guys everything.
 
Ok thanks,im sorry i posted it in the wrong place,i plan on having the body off the frame by this time next week,ill try posting pics,that way everyone can see my progress,plus everyone loves pics,they always help!
 
People usually get mad when you put a Chevy into an Olds car, I dont know what the reaction will be with a Pontiac in one! I think it should be pretty cool. 8)
 
On that,back in 92 i asked my old man 2 loan me 350 so i could buy a junkyard 455 out of a 71 catalina..he said if a man cant build a 400hp sbc for 2000,he isnt one..hell most bigblocks have that stock,been stuck with them ever since..i like being original
 
I say try something REALLY different- A Gas Turbine! :twisted:
 
You can't go wrong with a 455.

Not not be a PITA but there is no such thing as a Big Block Pontiac,all blocks interchange except the 301.

It's just a pet peeve of mine, sorry. :roll:

PM sent.
 
Pontiac in an Olds ,wish I had thought of that. :wink:

Stuck it in last night, hope to be running by weeks end.

That looks bad arse Shotgun. You don't have to do the remote mount oil filter with the Pontiac in the gbody do you?
Pontiacman, What are you doing to the heads? Original, I heard its fun to do something different. Big blocks and gbodys are so much fun.
