Oldsmobile Delta 88 Rev

[TWOwicked92]

great car i had the same one back in 1994 it was a 84 delta with the 383

[redrunner07]

sounds like a 350 desil i have one a 1980 delta 88 royal with a 350 desil and it sound the same

[kustom85delta88]

Wow. Will that exhaust setup bolt directly onto a 307?

[gooster89]

i think i need to change my pants... is that a 383 i know it isnt a 307

[Will938]

Yeah, 383.

[doomsd46]

@Will938 - That's new, the biggest they came with from the factory was a 350.

[tamra1975]

sweet rumble

[DriftedChicken]

what kind of exaust is on it? thrush or jones...?

[Will938]

From block to tail pipe the exhaust was pretty cheap and generic. Summit SUM-G9060 hugger headers, straight pipe to turbo mufflers that all exhaust shops stock, 2.5" diameter throughout the system.

[paulandlatisha]

What u got under the hood?

[Artyfil]

probably a 383 since that's what it says in the tags

[NolanMGI]

lol I love the old spoke hubs with that exhaust cracks me up...I have yet to find any good 80's grand prix's on youtube at all I'm almost finished with my 84 grand prix

[yiffme]

i have a 76 delta 88 with the 350 turbo 400 tranny. i plan on a dual exhaust system soon. has chevy rally wheels on it

[ballsnot]

i just put the same setup in my 84 in june but i havent posted a vid yet!

[SpideyFan6010]

Was the swap hard? Im trying to swap my 307 olds pos with a chevy 350 and 700r4 tranny.

[Will938]

The two hardest parts were finding motor mounts (frames are all the same, regular chevy ones work), and fabricating some rails to extend the frame under the car. That was necessary because the cross member wouldn't fit right, so I used angle iron to extend it out.

[SpideyFan6010]

What tranny did you use? Im going with the 700r4 and alost of people said that i would have to shorten the driveshaft by 3 inches, and move the crossmember back some so it would fit right. Iv'e been wondering what would be needed as far as mounts, Ive heard that there are some aftermarket custom engine swap mounts that adapt depend on car and engine.

[Will938]

I used a TH400, just because I got a good deal on it. The frame is the same for all B-bodies, holes for the mounts are all pre-drilled. So if you're using a regular 350 block then the regular mounts will work. The frame will have to be extended to hold the stock crossmember, I used angle iron because it's strong, cheap, and easy to install.

[SpideyFan6010]

Thanks alot for the info man, I'll let you know how it goes, hit me up if you think of anything else. Thanks!

[yiffme]

don't mess with Texas. great vid

[ballsnot]

sounds good, thats what i'm gonna do next to my car either a 383 or small block 400!

[tainterlakeisgreen]

disappointed... why put a chevy in it?

[Will938]

Because I didn't do this to make a genuine oldsmobile, I did it to get experience in engine building and fabrication; such as you'd get from putting the mismatched chevy engine in an olds. It was far cheaper and suited my needs.

[tainterlakeisgreen]

Thats alright. I like keeping them oldsmobile but whatever suits you. Sounds really nice though. Did you paint it black? I have an 83 black delta

[345rdf]

because if you put a ford in it it would be a piece of shit

[tipetu]

what engine?

[Will938]

Chevy 383

[tipetu]

It`s so cool when the car moves when you hit the accelator

[tainterlakeisgreen]

thank a v8 and soft suspension for that! works even better when you have it in gear and give it gas. these will rock pretty good..

[sonoranson]

what year is that?

[Will938]

1980. Engine block is out of a 1997 Tahoe, and I bought the internals and such piece by piece.

[gm1990ss]

when was the last time you had new TX liscense plates?

[Will938]

Picked some up last year

[gm1990ss]

havent seen one of those in awhile, maybe its time for classic plates?

[Will938]

lol, as long as they keep the 25 year rule and I only have to do safety inspections, they can do whatever they want.

[gm1990ss]

sounds good...not too many around, so keep er runnin

[Biancardi]

beast.
