Have you thought about putting a toyota avalon motor in there. Its got good power, gets good mileage and heard you can run it with no oil for many miles.
good job on the cutlass i have a 1988 t top one like your can you tell me what kind of motor mount and frame mount you used becouse i have a chevy vortect 350 and i can't geet it to line up for nonthing and is it bolt in becouse everybody won't me to weld it in and i do not won't to so can you please help me thank if so what bolt hold did you used to line it up trying to finish before it get cold
@ljblue2009 The stock motor mounts should have an array of holes. They are for the V6, and Chevy, Pontiac, and Olds V8 (302, 305, 307) We used the holes closest to the front end of the car and had no clearance issues. We used the same fan shroud, but had to get a reversed fan from a Chevy Astro.
@Mellizano so did you used the your 1987 cutlass supreme motor mount and frame mount or chevy (if chevy what year) then you line the hole up to the front what year two pice serpentine bracket you used becouse when i try to put in my motor my one pice serpentine bracket it hit my gear box
@ljblue2009 Same frame mounts, and same (new) motor mounts. This is a 1 belt serpentine. But if you line it up with the front holes it should clear no problem.
@Mellizano so what you are saying is all that about gotta change motor mount to do a chevy 350 is crap if you take the time to find the rt hole and what about manifolds
@dynomitetucker What are you talking about? A Chevy motor wont go in an Olds motor mount. I don't get what your saying? Manifolds? There are none it's straight headers, had no problem with clearance issues.
@Mellizano no i was asking a question. so many people have said that i cant put a chevy 350 in my cutlass i was asking if that was some bull based off what you are saying.
@jayzkissnazass Yes, it is the 200R4, rebuilt with a lot stronger internals. Shop said it could withstand up to 500HP worth, but we are probably only pushing 330, maybe 340.
@TheBigOCutlass Yeah man the reason being is that basically I am not the person that can build a whole engine myself, and I am not paying a shop to build one for me. Can't beat turn key motors, came with ALL acc. I know all the Olds fanatics hate SBCs in Olds but from where I stand it's what I can do and having fun doing it.
@Mellizano why would some one hate a olds with a 350 sbc?if they hate that then how do they feel about fords with them.olds is gm so its cool with me.for each its own.
@YoungerPrice Thats what I say!! It's all GM!! I dont see what it matters, but the TRUE Oldsmobile fanatics like EVERYTHING to be Olds, and if it's not they think its crap... Funny thing is, Canadian Cutlass's came with Chevy 305's but in that case some how its okay with them, but if you convert it yourself then your an enemy in the face of true Olds fans
whts the part # for the headers

To bad you put a Chevy Motor instead of a Olds Engine, but you can not beat the price on a chevy engine much cheaper, nice buildup.
