hi in usa to all of you.
I'm new and I wanted to introduce me but I didn't find the correct topic.
my name is marcello and I write you from the italy I have a 1967 oldsmobile delmont 88 before serious or model year 66 but they are a lot in difficulty I don't find the connecting rod for my engine 425, you would give me a hand.
thanks

 

Welcome Marcello,

I would try writing in the parts wanted section of this forum located here, https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/parts-wanted/. or reading here to buy, https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/parts-sale/

good luck finding your parts. American auto parts must be hard to find in Italy.


Jason

 

thanks jason
i'm very happy..

 

here he is many hard to find parts of exchange, he must turn us over ocean, but this car must be very rare, I do a lot of work..

 

Marcello,
If I did not already welcome you, I do so now. I think you have come to the right place for help with your Oldsmobile. Good luck in your search for a connecting rod for parts.

 

Welcome aboard

X2 on Oldsguy, This is the right place.

 

Hello Marcello
I have a set but I'm located on the West Coast of the US. Please create a post in the parts wanted section to see if someone on the East Coast has them. That will save you several dollars in shipping costs. If you don't find them closer let me know and I'll provide a price and shipping costs for you. John

 

I'm happy to be among you I hope can help me, the connecting rod for engine 425 seem that cannot be found

Hello Marcello
OK, I have them but unless your in a real hurry I would suggest posting the parts wanted ad and giving that a few days to see if there are some on the East Coast. I suspect shipping from my location would add $30-40 to the shipping costs. I have shipped used rods/pistons before and they fit in two US Postal Flat Rate boxes with the pistons still attached. Since shipping overseas it may be worth the costs of removing the pistions from the rods here and shipping just the rods. I could check with my machine shop to see what he would charge to do that. John

 

I missed reading one of your posts. Yes these are used parts and another benifit of having a machine shop remove the pistons here is that he can check to make sure they are good and can be re-used.

Yes, we always enjoy seeing photos of Oldsmobile projects so if you have some please post them. John

 

I'm looking for them new, because my motor is by now everything new, nothing was good now I put the photos so you see the job, jhon I also had to $100 consignment I don't care but I must find her thanks a friend
