Im gonna run the S&P style mounts with their headers and an Autokraft pan. for the trans i haven't decided yet, I'm gonna play that by year, for right now ill just say the trans is getting mounted however it will work. The engine is not in yet, this is just how i plan to mount it.

Vinci XXX, 222/228 .551"/.551" 115 LSA.

That is pretty mild, it should idle really smoothly, and give good mid range torque which should play well in a heavy car.

I saw your post on ROP good to see things are coming along.I've been fighting with wether to keeping my 70 cutlass all olds, but you just can't beat these new LSX engines. I think i'm going to go with some LSX power myself the thought of my crank wanting to come out of my block just doesn't sit well with me. Plus it gives me a reason frequent this site more often, now I just have to get rid of my 455. Good luck with the swap

Today I did some work on the Cutlass. I installed the LS6 springs, cleaned the motor up some, removed intake, accessories and waterpump. Did a little "fitment research" involving flipping the headers upside down and mounting accessories, I think you know why Anyhow, I got some brake work done too.

Oh cool, your going to have the exhaust exit out through the hood, like one of those "Tractor Pull style" trucks.

How much did you pay for theat Jeg's washer?


Still free delivery?

ryanvv355

iTrader: (17)

^lol, $25 if i remember right, i had to deliver it. Actually the washer is more powerful than you may think, its a sleeper.

I acquired a camshaft. decided not to go with the Vinci XXX after some thinking. I got a Comp custom grind on XE lobes 224/230 .569/.578 114+4.

Well guys after a few months of collecting parts, and the car collecting dust, most of them have came in, I have cam install gaskets ordered and ARP rod bolts on the way, still trying to fund the oil pan. Heres the official parts list: Comp custom grind on XE lobes 224/230 .569/.578 114+4, Rollmaster double roller chain, Comp Hi-tech pushrods, Katech ported LS6 oil pump, LS6 yellow valve springs, ARP rod bolts, P&P TB and Fuddle 3200 2.0 str stall. And once tax season gets here this all will have extra motivation from a maggie, if the IRS doesn't F$%^ me.

Nice Cutlass, I'll be doing the same swap as soon as I find a worthy doner.

Thanks. No significant updates recently other than the cam and other parts are all installed. Progress has been slow, after all its hunting season you know

looks like it will be a fun ride, will u put a ram air hood on it?
i like that ram air hood on the cut's

ryanvv355

iTrader: (17)

I like them too, but it being a Supreme and the lack of reasonably priced, good aftermarket ram air hoods out there, i'm going to pass on the hood.
