1968 OLDS 442 LQ4 swap
So I decided to do the swap even though I am a die hard olds guy and already had a 455/th400 that runs like a raped ape is dependable can knock down 12's and Idle perfect all day long. My buddy has a 1968 442 convertible and did a ls1/4l60e swap in to and is very nice when he pops the hood (Igot jealous) So I just picked up a LQ4 from a guy Local to me that is a poster on here. I am not sure what his name is but oh well. It was rebuilt about 5000 miles ago has a Lunati cam and z06 springs and 241 heads. So far I got it on a engine stand starting to clean everything to paint the block and heads OLDS ROCKET GOLD! LOL!! Any way I need an oil pan, headers, adapter for a th400 and I have not decided if I am gonna go efi or a carb setup yet. I know there is a lot of debate and different options for the oil pan but this is crutial for me as my car is BAGGED and currently it sits on the headers and I am afraid that with the wrong oil pan the weight of the car will be on the oil pan!!! I will post some pics of the car tonight when I get home!
I need a wiring harness LS6 intake or carb intake front accs and the right oil pan! I am in San Leandro CA (Bay Area) and my name is Gil
Some other fun facts the car has 3.23 gears and posi 3" exhuast all the way back 19" in front and 20" in rear baer brakes bagged. My goal is to make 400rwhp through a th400 on pump fuel
