hi guys , i have inherited a 79 cutlass supreme that was headed for the crusher from my brother. he had the car for the last 15 years and it was about to die. came with the chevy 305 and had over 200 thousand miles was over heating badly and running like crap. i got a call to come get it or it was going to the crusher , he had tried to trade it in but they didn't want it. so i'm gonna need some help finding parts. the interior needs molding and weather striping other than that not to bad. the body in decent shape may need bumpers if i can't get the rust off and i'm going to replace the 305 with a 350. has a fairly new 350 trans new exhaust and brakes. so here i go wish me luck. tom , if someone can tell me how to post pic's i will send some.

Hey glad to see you here. I saw your application for membership the other day when I was doing some maintenance in the admin cp. Glad to hear that you are replacing the chevy engine with a 350, hope you mean an Olds 350 .

Welcome to the site X2 hoping you go to an Olds 350

the 1979 cutlass came from the factory with a 305 chevy motor , chevy 350 trans , and chevy rear-end. i have installed the limited slip posi carrier out of an 86 Z-28 i had lying around and already have a chevy 350 rebuilt so i am going that route. hope this dosen't get me banned but it would be rather expensive to replace with old's drive train now. tom

Hi Tom....I had a 79 H/O Sweet little ride came with the Olds 350. I think if you got a H/O or Cutlass Calais you got an olds 350 but any other cutlass model with 350 you got a chevy
