Hi all G-body fans 🙂 Sorro for the bad english 😳
I am a 38 year old guy from Norway.
I'm the proud owner of a 1981 Olds Cutlass Calaise with a 260 V8 with a 600 Edelbrock carb :roll: . It has the factory sunroof, but some idiot previous owner has sealed it with filler... :evil: So i hope the original sunroof is there. :shock:

The car has some minor rust hear and there, but overall it is in a pretty good shape exept for the paint which is satin black.
The interior is Maroon red and is pretty much mint 🙂 the plan is to insert a Olds 350 engine and new paint job and replace all worn parts in the front suspension.

I've worked on cars pretty much all my life. Both American and Japanese cars. for the most 70s Mazda. I have ownd about 16 of them, and a 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Nomad and a 1963 Olds Dynamic with a 350 rocket engine from a 1970 442.. That was a bad *ss car... :mrgreen: But unfortunately it was totaly rotted out after hard life and lots of owners. To bad cause it was a nice and rare car over here.

Welcome to the G BODY FORUM !!!
 
I've been to Bergen Norway before. Went there with Air National around 1994. Beautiful country, I remember gas being expensive back then almost 6.00 Dollars a gallon. I met a soldier that was doing engine swaps..350 Chevy in a volvo Nitrus (Nitrous), 454 out of a US Military Ambulance into 1970 Camaro he scored somewhere..a lot of engineering since the parts were almost non-existent and there was no internet back then...
 
Gas prices are even higher now these days.. :evil: But that doesent stop me from driving my V8 :mrgreen:
Yes Norway is a beutiful country, with all the mountains and rough nature. But the winters are killing me, i just hate snow 🙁

Volvo's and V8 is a populare combo in Norway and Sweden. It's a cool sleeper..

Take a look at this one, a pretty nasty Volvo from sveden, seen it several times and it's fast!!

thanx, good to be in the family 🙂 Moore pics will come 🙂
 
Got a 4-bbl 350 olds and a 350 transmission today from a lokal guy.
And picked up new MrGasket crome valve covers and edelbrock breathers. Braided Stainless Steel Fuel Lines, Edelbrock Carburetor Chrome Single Fuel Line Kit, spark plugs.. 🙂

So now i will start to overhaul the engine and transmission. The good part is that i'm geting help for this job by the guys at the local car club.. I think its wise to get som expert help to get i proper done.
