Smile my ride

here's my 78 cutlass salon 4 door sedan project,shortly after the installation of a 430 Buick engine, which was punched out to 438 ci. has 550 hp it's going to be a "sleeper"

it will clear the heater box, and brake booster easily

it has since been leveled,and bolted down

I have a lot to do, and if you're intrested, I'll post progress pics

Looks like a winner there. With a motor that shiny, It's going to be hard for you to keep it from sleeping.

I should drop my 455 into this rotten Delta88 and go race some high school kids before it snows. I'll put 4 non matching hubcaps over some weld wheels and gut the interior

with the hood closed, it'll look like a normal Cutlass Salon........ that's why I chose this particular car, no one would expect a big motor in that body style

it willl be a fun ride when I'm done

I just set the radiator core support in place, but I'm not to sure if I have the rubber bushings in correctly: here's some pics: one of the large bushing, second pic of smaller bushing,is looking from under the hood
