New Acquisitions

[84sscutty]

As title states, just took delivery of a new to me 81 Buick Century wagon with factory buckets and console/shifter. The car has 3.8 in it but that will be short lived. No hate but it will get an LS swap with t56 and 8.8 rear end with True Trac and 4.10 gears. Most parts other than fuel system and clutch are already on the shelf.
Also bought a 79 Cutlass from the same guy, I was gonna do LT1 and t t56 in it but I'm thinking I may do a gambler style build(but not cheap or just thrown together) on it and run an auto. I'm still up in the air on the trans(I have both available)

Figured I'd drop back in for a very small update on both cars.
Cutlass has a 350 sitting between the rails but only bolted in so far but mild cam has been broke in on my run stand. Ended up with a tbi 350 with freshened up heads that i had shaved, converted to carb, and a fresh th350.

Century has a mock up engine in place with a t56. Fitment seems nice with Metaltek style engine mounts and CTS-V pan. I haven't ordered headers yet but leaning towards a midlength header for ground clearance since I'll be lowering it in the future.
