hey I"m new to the site I'm 25 years old from north Carolina and I have 1980 oldsmobile cutlass brougham as my project car I have fetish for old school cars have owned a couple but I didn't get far with the project but I plan on doing this classic cutlass the right way with the help of some people from the forum my 1980 cutlass is currently not running when I bought it it had a v6 and a 200 transmission (granny mobile) I recently removed the motor and transmission and I can't make up my mind what motor and transmission combination to go with for this classic of course it has to be chevy I was thinking a 383 stroker with a 350 or 400 trans ....any opinions feel free to add your input im open to all suggestions and opinions

 

Welcome where at in nc man and as far as transmissions I have heard the 350 is prefered

 

I'm from Greensboro I've had a 350 trans before in a caprice its a good trans at the time I had a chevy 305 so I couldn't really get the most out of it but it was a good transmission

 

I'm in catawba county if your ever in the area stop by lol and yea the 350 is the way I'd go

 

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site, it's nice to younger people in the hobby.

 

Welcome to the site, a chebby engine

 

thanks yea this is my new hobby now lol time to upgrade to big boy toys

 

yea chevy I would like to keep every oldsmobile but I cant find a decent oldsmobile motor worth fixing

 

Oh really. You are at the right place, lots floating around here. Just ask and you shall receive

 

I'm not condemning your engine choice, but if you look on the site, there are a number of Olds engines for sale. Some cores and some complete.

 

Welcome to CO! Looks like a nice car, good luck with your project.

 

I will look into that cause I really want to keep everything olds
