Not mine but I know these are rare. Thought I would share with the group.

Running when removed from an Olds cutlass. I have the carb and distributer. Complete with tourqe flight two speed transmission. Please text. No e-mails will be returned. Ask for Ed.


The transmission is the rare piece...

The Chevy I6 isn't particularly rare.

I am with OC. A torqueflyte in a Cutlass is rare.

man that baby will shift!

A torqueflyte in a Cutlass is rare. Yup! One of none right there.

oldcutlass

Especially the 2 speed version...

But, when they put that engine in an Olds, with an Olds air cleaner sticker on it, it's not a Chevy engine, you see. Much like my 09 GMC envoy has an engine better than the CHEVY 5.3, because it's in a GMC.

Say, this I6 would have that rare thin adapter plate for Chevy bolt pattern to BOP trans!

I know, whoopee, who cares.

Funny that Torque Flite trans looks just like the two speed Jetaway I took out of my sons 67 F85 6 cylinder. And it has a dual bolt pattern, BOP and Chevy.

joe_padavano

Misinformed sellers with incorrectly worded ads are also not rare, especially on the Interwebs...

Nope.

Octania

Huh, well the I6 Cutlass that I have has that item. The thin plate between trans and engine.

Among my favorites are the "12 volt" rear end, and the "cow induction" hood I have seen advertised.

joe_padavano

Are you talking about the small dust cover at the top of the trans, as shown in the lower left of this drawing?

Not sure about Olds but when they put that engine in the Tempest and Lemans Pontiacs "PONTIAC" was cast into the block. Not sure about Buick and Olds which also used tat engine.......

joe_padavano

Pontiac used their own unique block that accepted the overhead cam head. That motor was only used in Pontiacs.

ferndaleflyer

I know the straight 6 had PONTIAC cast in the block. I had a new 66 Sprint that had the over head 6 and 4bbl carb but don't remember about the casting or if I even noticed.......to busy riding. You realize that was 50 years ago? What are you young guys going to do when us old folks that bought those cars new are gone? How many on here have a 65 they bought brand new sitting in the garage??????? You got to many cars Joe----zoning people gonna get you-LOL

joe_padavano

That's why we live on a good-sized farm and can't see our neighbors.

ferndaleflyer

Good for you----here I am 12 miles from the nearest traffic light and it just blinks. Nearest house is over a mile away. Only neighbors I have are cows. I sold 354ac when I moved to NC. The Baltimore property I have on Aviation Blvd at the airport is 7ac and if a car sits there over night without tags on it 1000ft from the road I get a letter.....The NIMBYs are hard on the old car hobby for sure.
