You're going need to find someone parting an early 1980s Toro or other E-body car with an Olds motor to get those. An ad in the "Parts Wanted" section is your best bet.

Thanks but I'm new and it won't let me. How do I get my post stickied to get more ppl to see it... I can't post there it says
Noone wants to part them out... I found one for 1500 but it's far away
I only need a few parts.. so paying 1500 for a running driving car to get a bracket axel and manifolds is crazy... Wish it was easy like a Chevy small block swap

How can I get someone to pin 📌📍 or sticky my thread ..I need the parts lk tomorrow
Piecing this together is going to be expensive. That's about the worst possible way to do it. Buying the engine without the other parts was not the best way to approach this. The nickel-and-dime small parts add up fast. The smartest way to do this would have been to buy a complete but very rusty parts car. You don't want to hear that, but there is no easy answer.
Imma Chevy guy so I didn't know about all this.
I should have waited but only other car I found was 1500$ I bought motor and all parts even a spare good transmission for $400

If you don't buy a parts car, then a core engine (oil pan to air cleaner) is the next best thing to invest in. I bought a spare 455/TH400 for my 71 Oldsmobile when I had the engine rebuilt. I also bought a spare 7.3l IDIT for my 86 Ford truck.
Here's a search engine you can use to find the parts you need.

Well I got no choice.. my buddy said there maybe a 79 toronado for 500$ that's in my range.. .. other then that unless y'all know of a parts car close to south Texas plz lemme know . I do not like hunting for parts but I can't just click my heels.. gotta do what I gotta do to get her running.. if I had the way to go to North Texas and had the 1500 Id get the 1500 toronado..but I don't got 1500 ..all I need is bracket and maybe axel I believe.. tv cable looks lk..I got oil pan and flywheel already..
