3800 series ll engine swap
Not hot rod but im having trouble. I swapped a 99 Olds 3800 series ll into a 95 olds that had a 3800 series ll engine . The engine i picked up had a flywheel . Looking at it looked indenticle even some rough measurement at certain places was the same . I measured from bottom of block to outer ring gear and both measured the same , then i measured from outer ring gear to center of bolt holes for converter and it was the same . Then i put it in and i cant get the converter bolts started . Looking thru inspection opening they look off a little . Is there a trick let me know ive been looking for the big hammer at wits end here .
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
