SBC Swap Questions...

I know, I know... I should stay Olds, but here goes anyways.

Basically my question is what I need to do for the SBC Swap. I've heard the fuel lines are on the wrong side, and some wiring adjustments, but is that it? Anyone that can help me out, it'd be appreciated.

This is my first post, I just bought an 87 Cutlass 4 days ago. Pretty solid car, has the 3.8 in it right now. I'm putting a th350 with a shift kit in, along with an SBC 350. I'll get some pics up of it soon.

Not sure about the cutlass but when I blew the 3.8 in my first regal I purchased a running monte from the scrap yard so I had every thing I needed. After doing the swap I scrapped the car and got $300 back of the $400 Ispent on the beater. Just an idea. Good luck and happy wrenching.

I think you need a rad and rad hoses too, the fill and the hoses are on opposite sides if I remember correctly. Probably mounts too

TH400, since you can handle it, get a BBC :D
