doing a resto mod for me and my dad. Its getting a LS 6.0 with a ZL1 super charger on it. I am lost when it comes to suspension, does the dynamic 88 share parts with the other gm abodies? is there lsx motor mounts for this car. any other info would be greatly appreciated

thanks, Ben

 

You picked a tough car to adapt a different engine and transmission( I assume you know that you will need a different transmission also).Others have done this but it is not with out major fabrication, Cross member, narrow transmission tunnel and custom motor mounts come to mind and there are many others . If you post this in the non Old's power forum you will probably get some detailed info http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversion...on-here.htmlor try this link .....Tedd

 

Ya planned on doing all that stuff custom, really just curious if the dynamic 88 shares any suspension stuff with other A body cars. Also wondering about wiring harnesses for the interior and lights

 

Each GM division had it's own suspension design on the "B" bodies in the early 60's. Dynamic 88 is a "B" body , not "A".
Most parts from other divisions will not interchange.

What are you doing with the original engine? I'm in need of a 63 or 64 394 Olds engine in rebuildable condition. What part of the country are you located?

 

I bought it with no engine or Tranny sorry man.

 

Welcome to the site, start a build thread in the non-oldsmobile engine section. It'll be an interesting project.

 

hi, tv shows have great programs that show these types of e-swaps...gears,and don't for get classic chevy mags.etc...they a have sponsers to showcase the products used on the program...I saw one the otherday..and you can go online and watch these back shows to get the names of the products...I hope this helps?"

 

Charlie, sent you a pm. I have a 394 available.

 

What you find for suspension? I have a 63 super 88 holiday coupe. Need more wore to give the 455 rocket better stopping and ride support.
