Where are you, and how are the local emission laws? Those 2 factors make a big difference in what you can/cannot do (i.e.- Kalifornia=forget it).

I'm in Georgia and I don't think that they stress on emission. Also as of now I was using the stock 307 trans.
So, you're good either way- keep the computer and just swap the long block or ditch the ECM and go old school. Like 307 &403 said, it's only 8:1 compression, so cam selection is dependent on that. It all has to work together. This guy has a good combo: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/realoldspower/11-sec-pump-gas-iron-head-355-street-strip-t16748.html Snoop around that section; there are some good builds in there.
I have another question? I have looked online and I keep coming up with different answers. Does my 84 calais have a different lug pattern than all other cutlass this year?
Since '61 to '88 the bolt pattern is 5x4.75" for all RWD F85/Cutlass models as with all '64-'88 A/G cars. The FWD cars use the 5x100.
Thank you for the response. I looked all over Google and it kept telling me that the calais is 5×100. But then I was told what you said. I am trying to find some performance rotors for my car and they say that the other cutlass rotors wont fit the calais.
As noted before the whole automotive world has no clue what fits/interchange with any '78-'88 RWD A/G Cutlass model. Just claim you have a Monte, Regal, Grand Prix or El Camino then you'll find most of what you need.
