well I actually just started talking to my friend whos got a shop and is gonna help me out since i havnt done much rebuilding let alone a whole engine, i posted some pics of the car, the engine work will be a winter project and hopefully she'll be bombing the streets come spring. gonna start bodywork next week and hopefully interior work this coming fall, i'll keep posting my progress. its a 455 that i had in a 68 delta 4dr i drove it till it developed a rod knock, parked it and pulled the engine. the plan is to build it put it in the cutlass and then take the 330 thats currently in the cutlass and put that in a rat rod, looking at a 1927 olds sedan to rat rod. so ive got my work cut out for me.

My tranny guy says he can build a turbo 350- modified, that can handle up to 700 HP, and is lighter weight than the 400. All depends on what you want to do.
