Well I know I have hit up enough members here for help so I might as well post some pics! Car started as a very clean all original 330 Jetfire. Now its sporting a cammed LY6, LS3 intake, DBW, 4L85e, 9inch and all the rest of the usual suspects.

prepping for the transplant..painless harness for the car, PSI Harness for the drivetrain, griffin radiator, new disk brake 9 inch 3:70 is in, new EFI tank in place & Autometer guages in the original spot.

New shoes are in..Staggered Daytona wheels 17/18 with Nitto 555's, motor is a 2009 LY6 & 4L85e..mast cam & springs, camarao intake / injectors, & truck dbw

smooth install, used the hooker adapter plates, competition engineering solid mounts on the block & oem chevelle frame pads below...now onto the wiring.

Its getting there & looks right at home...I tried both truck & corvette exhaust manifolds neither would work so I ordered Hooker LS Swap headers & 3" full exhaust from PYPES. Both fit extremely well.

Wrapping things up and off to the tuners we go. HUGE thank you to Larry @ Burkes Performance in Rincon GA for helping me get things right. He moved the ecm & tcm inside & under the dash, cleaned up all my wiring mistakes & got my baby running.

OMG dude! that is sick. Me an old school Olds guy, first car a '69 442, then a '77 442, then a '86 442. okay I was stuck in same book different chapters. Awesome what you did, I'm sure is a hit in car shows. Thanks for sharing!

kanner1

Thanks!! Ive always liked Olds also, had a 69' conv, 71' W30, 77' 442 & an 85 also over the years plus an 88 & 98 that I robbed for parts! Im starting to really put some miles on this thing now...& yes it's a big hit at shows and everywhere we drive it. As you can tell by the boy in the trunk..kids arent as impressed!!!

Like my 17 year old at the car show that looks at the Buick Grand National with over 500rwhp then wants her pic taken with the new Mustang V6 with the boss badges, OOOKKKAAYYYY!?!

Ohh I feel your pain. Thank g-d my 13 year old is getting with the program. After going to a few X275 & Outlaw Drag radial events with some buddies, he's begging me to procharge it or run a twin turbo set up. This thing was all over the road on the gas as is so I had to upgrade the front & rear suspension. I cant weld & fab up turbo pipes so I'm leaning towards changing cams & probably adding a procharger on here in the next few months.

Kind of sad that even with around 500hp on tap that I get better mileage in the 67 Oldz than my 2011 Toyota Tundra??? Check out the new tag...cant believe that this one slipped through!!! LOL

RJDio

Funny. my T/A gets horrible gas mileage, lucky to get 15 mpg. Yea my 17 year old drives a 2008 Mustang GT slightly modded and tuned, she is a muscle car fan, but unfortunately the only thing she likes from the 80's is the hair metal.

kanner1

Hey... Nothing wrong with some good ol hair metal!!!

Nice job. I've got almost 2 years on my 5.3 72 Olds as a daily driver. Absolutely love it.

Nice build. Hopefully my cutlass looks similar to this.

This makes me miss my 70 cutlass conv I had when I was in high school. It was gold too. Nice job on the swap. Love the wheel choice too

Did u run the truck throttle body with ls3 intake? I have an LY6 going in my 69 Camaro next month. Just gathering info! Nice Olds!

kanner1

Thanks!! Yes I kept the truck drive by wire with the LS3 intake. Switched my gas pedal to the corvette pedal though, much better design than the truck piece. The guys at PSI set up the new harness to accept the new pedal.
