[2blu442]

Olds didn't make a lot of four speed cars, so most cranks are not drilled for a pilot bearing. There was a thread about this not too long ago where one guy said he paid a machine shop $250 to drill the crank after he removed it from the car. One other question I have though, if you have a numbers matching car it might be worth more keeping it numbers matching. If you don't care about numbers you could sell the 442, buy a clean Cutlass and build a clone out of it. As long as you don't try to sell it as a 442 a clone car will give you the freedom of changing things without reducing the value of the car. In fact a well built clone still brings a high price tag. That's my two cents, but its your car. I would say the crankshaft is going to be the biggest hurdle, the rest is bolt in stuff with the exception of cutting the floorboard for the shifter hole. You can buy the parts depending on how good a deal you get that could run between $1,000 and $2,000 for everything. There was a complete changeover setup on ebay, not sure if the auction ended yet or not but it had the trannie plus all the pieces to make the swap.
