Hi all, here a newbie from The Netherlands Europe
Hi, I am working on a 1964 Olds Cutlass Hardtop Coupe. The car came originally with a 350 Chevy and TH-400 from Sweden. Actually a Swedish custom car. Recently I bought a complete 1967 425 Olds engine for the 64. We (me and my two sons) hope to finish the car next spring.

Welcome!!
It is hard to say what they did to mount the Chebby motor. You will need the frame brkts from a 64 to 68 Olds Cutlass. You also need the engine mount from the same years. If it will help any the part number for the engine mounts is #2261 from the after market parts. It does not matter small block Olds or big block Olds. The Chebby T-400 will need an adapter to fit the Olds or get a B.O.P. T-400. A long or short shaft T-400 will work, just a matter of making a drive shaft.
If you still have the radiator from the '64 the lower hose is on the wrong side for the 425. A radiator shop can change the hose connection from drivers side to passenger side. If that has been done you are all set.
All the brkts on the 425 will work fine. Non A/C brkts move the alt to the passenger side, it's a little cleaner. But where you are at, it may be hard to fined.
I guess the final color will be red. A buddy painted his deep blood red. It looks fantastic.
Good luck. Looks like a fun project.

Welcome to CO. It looks like you and your sons have a fine project and from the pictures it looks like someone knows how to work on cars too! Smart move getting an Oldsmobile engine for the car, that makes us happy here.
