Hey Everyone figured ive always looked at posts on here I might aswell make an account, Im Eric in Metro Detroit area, Here is my 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass, I built this car over the course of afew years, had it up and running had an engine failure ( rod bearing failure on unknown mileage engine ) and put it on the back burner. Well its time to put the car all back together, I picked up a new 5.3 that has been freshly rebuilt with the summit pro ls, crank, rods, and pistons. I reused my BTR stage 2 cam and valve train. I just put the new engine in the car over the weekend so Ill have some updates of the current progress. Car has been a long running project since I fabricated and built as much as possible on my own.

Current setup
5.3, 4L80E, QP 9in, Borg Warner S475, Holley Terminator X Max

Looks like a clean install. Good luck with the new engine.
