Got a question about motor and transmission mounts/

[GrandPrixJamie]

I just purchased a 1975 Olds Rocket 350 and a 350 trans that I plan on putting in my 1987 GP. I am already aware that these motors are completely different from a chevy motor. does anyone happen to know if I am going to have to move the motor/transmission mounts and/or modify them? If so do any of you have any recomendations? thanks for the help.

Start by telling us what motor came in your 87 GP.

It came factory with a 305 and a th200 for the transmission

This is specific to a Buick V6 to Olds V8 swap, but alot of the same info applies.

In short, you will need:

-accesory brackets
-specific G-Body Olds V8 motor mounts
-transmission with BOP pattern
-other modifications list in the site above[/url]

If it has a T200 transmission and you have a t350, measure them. If you have the short tailshaft, your t350 will go right where the 200 was.

Then you need a set of Olds V8 engine mounts. Any 78-88 g car like ours that had a 307 or diesel will work. Some of these cars had little 260 Olds engines and a few in 78-79 had an Olds 350. Anyway, there were lots of Olds powered cars made.

A quick search of your local junkyards should turn up a 307 powered car quickly...

After it's in, buy radiator hoses for a Cutlass 307 car.

Good luck!
