My buddy just picked up a 355 olds for my swap for $100 😀 motor was rebuilt but never put back in a car. Were going to take it apart to go over everything and see if it was done right.

Castings say 395558 2, 72-76 olds 350 right? and 411 989, #8 heads??? Not sure on that.

I'm wondering what will swap over from the 3.8. Starter? can I use the same motor mounts? What else will swap over?

Also can we ust a SBC HEI distributor and just swap to an oldsmobile gear on the end?

I'm going to need a water pump, flywheel, rockers, pushrods, intake and carb. Shouldn't be too much of a project.

You should be able to get everything you need from the junk yard. The frame mounts will be tougher to get because you need to pull the engine to get them, so just make a post in the wanted section here and on other Oldsmobile sites. I have no idea about the starter.
