Running Extreme Supreme's adapter brackets, you have to have an adapter on the driver's side to line up more than one bolt, 351W crank pulley and a 94 sbc truck water pump pulley and accessories with a reverse rotation Olds V6 diesel water pump.

Unfortunately, that's the only video.......as of now anyway. My plan is to do a Vlog that I post on Youtube. I'll post the updates here.
Thank you for the link! I'm gonna order one of these adapter kits for my 455 buick stage 1 in my 78 "gran sport" regal,and borrow the layout to make a set-up for my 350 rocket in my 78 calais.
Not trying to bust your b@lls, but at least remove stuff around your car so you don't have stuff you could trip on. Learned the bad way, broke 5 ribs.I thought I would start a thread on the build of my Cutlass to, hopefully, keep me motivated. Instead of typing out a lot of info I'll post a video I made six years ago (I can't believe it has been that long!) that covers the basics, then post some pics of the current state of things. Please excuse the mess in the garage, I'm working on it!
The current state of affairs...
I totally agree and am working on it. I start cleaning up and the next thing I know the motor's out! LOL
So, I bit the bullet and decided to clean out the inside of the car. I knew there had been some rodent activity in in, but didn't know the extent of it. Here's what I found.
After cleaning most of the crap out I'm not sure if it was rats or squirrels. There were ll kinds of leaves and berries from the Holly tree outside the garage in it. I think I found where the main nest is. Now I just have to get up the nerve to pull the back seat out!
It looks a little better now.
I also got the front suspension off on the driver's side along with getting the main wiring harness out.
My plan for the near future is to get the front frame and firewall stripped and painted. Should I do the firewall chassis black or gloss black?

Thanks for posting the picture of your garage. I think mine might be a tiny bit cleaner, but not much. Every time I have to work around someting, I promise to spend a day cleaning and organizing. And some day I will.
Glad I'm not the only one! It's a good bit cleaner now, but I have way too much stuff and not enough space.
Anybody have any hints on how to remove the A pillar stainless trim around the door? I have the windshield trim off, but can't see how this comes off.
For the A pillar trim, you need to first remove the weather stripping from the black channel it’s glued into. Be forewarned tho, it’s a bear to get out, and you probably won’t be able to do it without destroying the weather stripping. Many aftermarket vendors offer replacements tho.
Once you have the weather stripping removed, you’ll see the screws that hold the channel onto the A pillar and roof. (It’s all one piece). Remove those and the channel and you’ll see the second set of screws underneath that hold the chrome trim on.
