switching engines #2
New to here on the basis that I have decide to LEARN a bit (or a lot ) on OLDS and vehicles in general.
Am miles away(new zealand ) from American parts but that just makes sure you try n order the correct part.--don`t sayit!!
Anyway, I have an 86 Cad. Fleetwood with the olds 307--reliable and economical but thats it .So, I have decide to rebuild and fit a TORO engine --have imported one with a spun bearing ?? --have yet to pull it down --head and engine ID shows it as a 66 425 toro--Also brought over a th400 to replace the 200 in the caddy. And an oB4 int. man.
Enough intro --so, which if any parts eg 4bbl carb,starter,dizzy etc are going to shift over--any ? none ?(other than intake manifold ,h20 pump --not much else remains )
Also , I guess too has anyone here converted anything similar ? --thinking about how much rehashing of bodywork is likely
Am committed to spending a few bucks and have the time to undertake the project--because of that I intend to enjoy it !!!
ANY HELP APPRECIATED -cheers mike
