CUTLASS Ready or not here I come...
- Thread starter Houston78
- Start date
The Holley needs to be tuned. It will start and run and most likely drive with a gameboy (hand held tune), but not great and not for long for alot of reasons - I can go into detail with if you want. But....it's very easy to tune, especially if you can e-mail a tune and datalog or facetime with someone. Other members here (calling Duke Northernregal ) can help or myself and others as well. It's really quite easy and nothing to be intimidated by. Follow the directions, and be clear about the power and grounds - FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS about the powers and grounds.
When the time comes, send me a PM or start a thread.
Best of luck and look forward to seeing you getting it done (I love a cutty!)

64nailhead and Northernregal, I appreciate the helping hand!
I received the gbodyforum.com merchandise a couple days ago.
Gonna take a look at the motor after work and hopefully purchase it.
I ordered the Holley oil pan yesterday.
My $.02, Just try and make sure you get the most complete engine you can so you don't get nickled to death chasing little stuff down. I prefer buying a whole wrecked/rusted running truck/van/suv so you know it ran and you have everything you need acc,sensors,hoses, fuses, and more you don't know you need,til u need it. If the engine your buying is drive by wire, you'll want the tac module and pedal with it. They sometimes don't wanna cooperate when mismatched. Above all, do tons of research, it'll save you money and wasted efforts.
Today's update, additional clearance oil pan has came in. Gonna order the headers next week...Holley had a price increase...I'm just doing research on the whole swap...I noticed a couple members relocated the battery and I would like to do that as well. I want to run the fuel lines also. I'm gonna drain the tank of whatever fuel it has. I noticed I can by a drop in unit for my old tank. I was reading a thread of a member who modified his sending unit on his MC swap. I liked what he did, but can't seem to find the thread...
FYI it's not advertized but last time I placed a decent sized order through Holley I received 10% off everything.
wish I had that kinda money....
