New guy

Hello all,

New guy here from Canada. Have had a few classics in my younger days. A 69 Chevelle, 67 Acadian Sports Deluxe (Nova SS) and 70 Camaro. I have some Olds history, I had a 66 with a 330 in it and my Dad had a 72 Delta with a 455 in it. I'm picking up my latest "fun" car next week after a long hiatus from "fun" cars.
It's an 86 Cutlass, mint shape inside and out but best of all with a modified drivetrain. The original engine and drivetrain has been swapped for a 68 455 and 69 muncie M22. I can hardly wait to get it. Looking forward to help and advice on this forum. Will post pics ASAP.

Welcome to the site! Cool sounding car, looking forward to pictures! I don't know if there's any members from your part of the country but there are several Canadians already here. John

Thanks again. I know my first question after I pick it up is how to get better mileage out of it. Hahahahaha.

455, M22, 3.08 rear end.
