Welcome aboard

sorry, I don't sure exactly what you're asking. Will a turbo 350 hook up to an Olds 350? absolutely

I'm not sure about the drive line of an 84 but hang in ther wiser minds will follow

Welcome to the site! What part of the state are you in? I don't know much about that vintage, but believe the 442 had a V8 that year. I would think the 442 mounts would work. I remember looking at a 1979 Hurst Olds a while back, I believe it had a 350 engine with a TH350 so there should be the right parts out there. John, in Medford Oregon.

welcome to co
Im not much help for your questions. but someone will answer them.

67 Cutlass

Don't know if this will help but I'll try.
I had an 83 Cutlass with the V6 in it and when it let go a friend gave me a 350 from a 69 Vista. I used the motor mounts from the Vista and utilized the tranny that was in the 83. I also managed to reuse the exhaust with some tweeking. Turned out the engine was too strong for the tranny and that let go after about 6 months of beating the hell out of it. Got rid of the car shortly after that.
That was about 15 years ago and I'm lucky I remembered that much.
Sorry, that's the best I could do.
Good luck

I hope you continue to participate here at Classicoldsmobile, but since you've not got an answer here yet have you tried the site called Oldspower? They have a lot more of the G-body guys there than we do here. This is a link to the engine/transmission forum. You might be able to scroll through them and find the answer to your question there.

Welcome and good luck with your project. This is a good place to find out where to get the parts for your car and maybe someone's got a rearend for you , not sure but you should be able to navigate to all the different forums and ask questions. these guys are great and very helpfull I know that they have helped me out lots and I am on a tighter budget but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

Coming into this thread late, but here goes.

Get the frame and motor mounts from a 307 G-body. The 350 is externally identical to the 307, so this is a total bolt-in. The V6 mounts are completely different and will not work. The trans crossmember depends on which one you have now. If you have a TH200 (three speed AT) then the crossmember works with the TH350. If you have a 200-4R, you will need the TH200 crossmember. If you plan to run dual exhaust, you will need an aftermarket or modified crossmember anyway. Your driveshaft will work fine with the TH350.
