Yeah, please elaborate.
I know the Toronado series started with a much higher VIN leading digit, sometimes, such as 500001 vs 100001 or 001001 for run of the mill A-B-C body Oldsmobiles. Actually, only your B and C bodies are called "oldsmobiles" by some of the factory literature- the A body line is "F85"... but we digress.
I figured you meant the big car diff was the BLOCK DRAINS
because the motor mounts used a different pair of holes for big car vs A-body, you may find your block drains are behind the motor mount if you mix-n-match. Easily remedied by drilling and tapping your block's other hole and using a recessed hex drive plug for the one behind the mount.

Yes. The reason why they are so reasonably priced is that they are using the shipments to fill up trucks that are running store-to-store anyway. Your shipment will be on a space=available basis, so it could take several weeks. For most of the stuff we ship like this, cost is far more important than time or delivery convenience. I have nothing but good things to say about Fastenal.
