Hi I have a 72 cutlass supreme with the 455. Car is a daily driver. Mods that are going to be done are drum to disc conversion and going from exaust manifolds to headers. Hope to be a help here have had the car for 4 years or so.

 

welcome to the site! sounds like a great car for a daily driver

 

Yes she needs a lot of work and i hope to get some pointers from those who have done the same projects I will be trying

 

Welcome to the site. Sounds like a nice ride. Tell us more about it and your plans. After you post on this thread 5 times you can move around and check out the other forums on the site

 

Going to convert the front brakes to disk got all the parts and will be replacing some old worn out suspension parts while I am at. Also going to need to change my exhaust system to headers and flow masters Salami is great at a deli but don't care for them on my car. Need to replace entire floor pan and part of the trunk salt damage from upstate NY. Will have more to come as you know always something.

 

How's the motor running?

The 455 Olds is a good motor but it has a small issue with bearing lubrication. It's easy to fix but it requires an entire tear-down, crank removal, bearing removal, etc. Make sure you request that if you have the motor rebuilt. If it's a daily driver, perhaps that's not a priority. If you start modding that motor though, just keep that in mind. The 455 that's in my LeMans had a spun bearing before it was B&B'd...

 

The issue is with incompetent rebuilders, not with the engine.
