1968 Olds Cutlass motor swap

michaeladamczak · December 26th, 2006, 08:17 PM

Hello, I'm new to the board and newer to Oldsmobiles. I have noticed that there is not a lot of performance goodies for the Olds 350 as compared to the Chev 350. How much work would there be to drop a chevy crate motor into a 1968 Cutlass that already has a Olds 350.? Would I be better off sticking with the Olds motor? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, Mike.

You aren't hanging around the right places. Not that there aren't great folks here, but checkout some of the vendors and performance builders that hang out at www.realoldspower.com.

Just remember to put on your flame-proof underwear when you go there and don't forget to come back here!
