AK_Cutlass_455
Hello everyone,
My names Jeremy AKA "AK_Cutlass_455". Just joined today as I have a cutlass here in the 49th state(Alaska) and it is uber hard to find info about Oldsmobile cutlasses or parts even. So I thought I would join this forum to get the real skinny(IE tips, tricks or what others have fixed/found/done) on the car. I have always wanted a 70's era Cutlass since one of my friends from my first assignment(yes I was military) let me work on his '69 442. Always loved the body-style (Yea love Chevelles too) and leaped at the chance to get my own '71 Cutlass. Its a diamond in the rough. Just a little 2 door post with a 455/TH400 combo. Hasn't been driven yet as it was in pieces when I found it. The engine had "J" heads. Yeah I dumped those and have a set of "E" heads on the way from the lower 48. I am here just looking for friendly advice and all that. I'll write a signature soon to state whats up with the progress on my cutlass just in case anyone is interested or entertained by that. Glad to be here.
