So I’m thinking about buying this 4 door running car with less 70k. Will the 4 speed in this car provide me everything I need to convert my 68’ convertible into a 4 speed? I know the frame is a little different. Thanks

Hi,

64-67 are close, 67 is a little different due to the collapseable column. I would think 68-72 would be the same.

Trans, bell clutch fork, maybe shifter should be able to use, pedals, and linkage you would have to get from a 68-72 would be my guess.

67 4 door 4 speed seems like a rare car

the big issue is the pilot bearing...Olds is weird that unless its a stick shift crank..it aint..and has to be drilled etc..that 330 crank should be forged and will work in a 350..pedals are different for sure...theres more issues..

67 has a diff bolt pattern on the flywheel..so it wont bolt to a 68 or newer motor...again..the 330 crank fixes it, but ya gotta swap the crank etc...theres a lot to consider...unfortunately Olds is the hard to convert from auto to manual..its not the end of the world..but takes some knowledge and be aware of the year diffs..


i wonder if it has a saginaw 4 speed, instead of a muncie....right there is a deal killer...

Is the 4-speed original to this 4-door?

Yes

A 4-door 4-speed is EXTREMELY rare. Please don't pillage it!

Any picts of that 67?

Is there some reason you're not collecting parts for this instead of killing a car?

I’m thinking of buying it

Anyone want to buy it? $3500 or I’m parting out. Runs good, little to no rust, small hole in lower fender, California car. Runs good have video of car driving and shifting through gears. There is no hood, that’s the way I’m getting it. Just went on a 73 mile trip with no problems.

Sorry I’m just not into 4 door

WOW !! Is it a Fremont Build? If not look for 2L on trim tag to legitimize...

68k original miles

Can you post a picture of the Fisher Body tag?

Sweet. I had a 67 C/S 330 2 dr. 4 speed and for a stock built car it was a bad ***. No air or power steering.
One belt with # 4 heads and a rock crusher. Fun, fun!

HMM did notice a blue drivers side valve cover? May not be a 330-just mentioning.

Oldsmaniac

The oil fill tube and cap is consistent with a 330 but anything is possible.

Any chance you still have or know of the whereabouts of this car? Would be very interested. Same first car and color I owned.

Thread is five years old. I'm sure OP has gutted it and it's been crushed by now.

probably but figured it’s worth a shot.
