CUTLASS Swap 3.8 with 383 stroker

[565bbchevy]

Another question for you guys should I use a three row radiator or is a two row going to be sufficient for the 383 stroker. I just appreciate a bunch all the responses that I get.

If you are getting a new aluminum radiator a 2 row with 1" tubes will do a great job at cooling along with a good fan set up.

Where’s a good place to get a cross member bar for a 700R4 for my 86 cutlass

If you are on a budget the Jegs cross member should work fine, I have one for a 200R4 in my 86' Regal with a 355 SBC and no issues with installation or exhaust.
A G Force cross member is a nice option if you have the extra cash.

Can you still use stock transmission lines if you switch the 200 trans to a 700r trans

When I put my clutch and fan on with the little black extension that they gave me for the serpentine kit it still hits what do you do about that

Well this fuel pump they sent with the engine doesn’t seem to want to work out what are my options

Performance Automatic is a good place to check for a trans. I couldn’t use a mechanical fuel pump on my 383. Went with an inline electric mounted on the inside of the frame where the axle arch meets the rocker area straight run. Real close to the gas tank.
