Thread: 350 olds to 350 chevy

Tweet

I am in the middle of swapping a 350 rocket from a 72 cutlass with a 350 chevy. Has anyone had any experience with this. any suggestions on motor mounts or headers I am using an adaptor plate and leaveing the 350 olds tranny in it
thanks.

Dude, I hate that your doing this..... however if you insist...think Chevelle, get Chevelle headers, youll need to butcher your wiring for your starter cause its on the other side...& I think youll have to chop into the alternators wiring to

Are the chevelle motor mounts what I need as well....and trust me if it wasnt for getting a awesome 350 chevy handed to me I would,never do this, but I just cant resist

Yes, the Chevelle mounts will work.
just a thought........Sell the Chev 350 for a profilt & rebuild or have someone rebuild the Olds 350 or find a running 403 or 455.
It is your car, so by all means do what you like...Im a Chevy guy for the most part, but theres nothing more disappointing at a car show than a good looking car of any other brand& than look under the hood & see a Chevy motor. if I see a good lookin 72 Cutty I wanna see it Olds powered....otherwise it looks like " I really want an Oldsmobile...but I can only afford a Chevy".LOL
But thats just me...do what you like, that is the beauty of hotrodding afterall. to make our cars the wat WE like em. John

I can appreciate that and really do agree but I have this 72 and none of the numbers match so I think I will use this engine, I also have a 72 with all matching numbers and nothing could convince me to half breed it...lol. I do appreciate your help
