Red face OOOOPS I guess I was new and missed this

Hi all... Native to Missouri live in Oklahoma now. Retired Air Force I have several BOP cars. The lone Olds is a 63 F85 cutlass convertible. was soda blasted and new paint and interior.. fresh drivetrain 350 chebby, 700r4 combo.. Needs a rear end rebuild and suspension work, and all the interior shiny pieces re-done.. I rewired it already and drive it quite a bit. I will finish the rest of the car while I drive it. Anybody near me can look me up and we can get together!

Could you post some pics? Like to see how that 350 Chev fits in there. That's quite a weight increase for the front end over the 215.....

Oil sump location

SixtyThreeF85, I have a question for you, What oil pan did you use with the Chevy engine swap to avoid the pan hitting the steering linkage? The stock linkage goes right across where the rear oil pan sump is on a Chev, the stock 215 has a middle sump pan. I was wondering how you solved that problem......
