69 Cutlass motor swap
I know it's pretty straight forward, but are there any issues that I should be looking for when swapping a 70 454 into a 69 Cutlass? I'm about to pull a NOM 350 Olds out of a friends 69 and put in a 454.
I'm planning on finding something with an overdrive to replace the TH350 that I'm assuming is in it. Any flavor better than the next for that? 4L60? I'd like something with the most straight forward, non-invasive install. The body is nice. He's a car enthusiast, but knows nothing about mechanics so I want to keep it turn key for him after I'm done. He wants a nice reliable cruiser with plenty of power, but no more than a stockish 454. |
LMK what leftovers come out of this dishonorable multi-brand swap:-)
Fan shroud.... accessories..... etc, etc. Ryan |

I have seen lots of people use A-Body frames as they interchange so mounts should work on the frame.
Ryan PS: You may get a rash installing a Chevy in an Olds. :-) |

I agree.

I probably would have just rebuilt the 350 Olds he has, it's plenty for his needs, but it's like 2-3 times the cost of a Chevy. Not worth it in my book. |
driveshaft- these guys do good work.
