Has anyone or know of anyone that CONVERTED (Olds Cutlass) from a "F85" to a "442" ??? is it noticeable change or nothing much different?? like example removing the "F85" emblems and adding the "442" components and scoops??? (I know engine is major part of it, so that is defiantly a change but cosmetic look)

 

Anyone can cosmetically 'clone' a 442 - the parts interchange through the F-85 line.
You may have to drill and/or fill a few holes to get trim in the correct places, though!

 

lots of difference beside emblems, heavy duty frame, swaybars front and rear, rear end , driveshaft, engine, check out this web site, click on "clone ? yes or no" a good place to start

Stan - he asked for Cosmetic differences!
Having 3 '65 442's in the shop, I'm aware of the mechanical differences!

 

Hey Rick, yes, I own a 65 Cutlass F85, and I wanted to see I should convert it or clone into a 442, i didnt see much of a diffrence except the emblems and the scoop on the side. Like my dad says, "its your car do what you want."

also, you happen to have the hole patterns for the side scoop? I know I will need to drill holes to fit the scoop.

 

No, I haven't one, but I believe they're out there.
I know good scoops are hard to find!

 

Yes agree!! Scoop are had to find or sellers want ridiculous amount of money!!! fortunately i was able to get a really nice pair. now all i need is a hole pattern to drill. good thing is this forum will help out!! i hope?? LoL!

 

Might try ultra high compression.com, as they're all 1965 442 only!!
