Budget LS Swapping a G Body Cutlass!

[@meziked]

At 15 my first car was a 79 olds cutlass, 305/th200 metric. I owned that car until I was 28. When I sold it 383/th350 built, 12bolt 4.10's. It was fun, I still check the vin every now and again and it's still kickin somewhere in KCMO. If the dude is wanting a 12 bolt, mine came from an old c20, darn near bolted right up. I think there was an inch difference in wheelbase, so .5 on each side. Enough to make it necessary to buy different offset wheels, that was it. Hell I even think the bolt pattern was the same as stock. Good old GM. Basically car leggo's.

That’s a good lookin cutlass.. big wheel cars done right actually perform extremely well

[@tommyjefferson9525]

Please don't sell the Skylark that's the best car you got you got a lot of work and time in that car it would be crazy to sell it

[@whitleycurtsinger]

Man I love that car number 1

[@trentdawg2832]

If anything sell the camaro!!!

[@johndoe..THE_REAL_JOHN-DOE]

Can't keep em all... Gotta sell to make room for other projects and content is the name of the game

[@FirstLast-we8cb]

Was thinking about you the other day. Mostly pure stuff. Great vid!

[@SniderTron3000]

"Mostly" lol

[@HughesWilliams-just-c]

We need to see some cars brother get them going . We love your channel allways will watch

[@CutlassVibes]

Great video! Keep up the good work.

[@funfun8095]

With the Terminator not being potted, I'm leery about putting it in the engine compartment. I always mount them inside, somewhere.

[@SniderTron3000]

I've run a handful of them in the engine bay with no issues. I do still get slightly nervous though lol

[@funfun8095]

@@SniderTron3000 Ok. That's good to know.

[@kennethchoyce8186]

Great video what would the labor be to do this?

[@houseofhorsepower3989]

If its the powersteering pulley thats hitting the gearbox you can use a 2000's grand prix or impala 3.8/3800v6 pulley on it its 3/4" to 1" smaller than the stock truck pulley

Hope you get to feeling better soon

The wheels on the 55’ are called Cragar SS/T’s. I still love them. Lol

[@RedEyedPatriot]

Nice Cutlass rt there 😎

[@cjjackson1180]

What headers?

[@AngelPerez-ug3sl]

Link for the drop springs on the f150

[@josiahprokes5288]

Do you still have the 3.8 I’m interested in the block depending on the year of the cutlass

[@SniderTron3000]

I don't unfortunately

[@shunbailey6177]

How much are you selling the Skylark for?

[@SniderTron3000]

I was thinking of posting it for $15k or best offer

[@toddcoleman5388]

I'm about to swap my 85 cutlass. What headers do you use? It's the last piece of the puzzle for the swap.

[@SniderTron3000]

These look like they might be some ebay shorties, but I don't know for sure. The Speed Engineering headers fit really well though

[@devynthedude1369]

Hey man been watching you since you had goldy hawn and now I’m doing my own 350 sbc gm with a th350 I have a Holley sniper efi kit QUADRAJET any advice on what mild build I should go with? Not sure what to do yet

[@SniderTron3000]

That is heavily dependent on the goals of the vehicle you're putting it in. But you can't go wrong with the good ol double hump heads, rpm air gap dual plane intake with the spacer to help the Sniper kit be happy. Idk if the aftermarket flat tappet cams are still questionable or not lol

[@devynthedude1369]

@@SniderTron3000 as of now it’s completely bone stock and I grabbed the Holley kit because it was a Facebook deal I couldn’t pass up but if I were to plan to just keep it stock for now to be able to slap it in and get it running but I also want to plan out a good 350-400ish hp motor but not sure on what cams to even go with hydraulic or tapper

[@JimmyPenrose-lt4ji]

What headers is he running on that ls

[@SniderTron3000]

I have no idea, they're just some shorties that were dropped off with it

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@Captgreatvalue]

My 1980 Montecarlo originally had a v6 but when I swapped it out to the 350v8 it was more than we could handle it had over heating issues and fan shroud had to be cut just for the engine to fit being young and stupid I had a friend sale me avgas saying it was like racing fuel I ended up burning the rings trying to run better than high 14s not knowing the stock v6 tranny and the stock rear end was an issue I finally changed the rear end years later with burning oil and all 3.73s help run a high 12 with same v6 tranny was a turbo 350had to sale the car due to a divorce for cash for clunkers and dream about my Montecarlo a lot knowing what I know now I would have done a lot more to it… sorry for the ramble it’s a life story

[@danielgonzales2018]

Using column shifter?

[@SniderTron3000]

I was hoping to make it work but they dropped off a B&M ratchet shifter to toss in it

[@tri5garage544]

If you use a th350 from a truck you won’t need to do anything with the driveshaft because they are long tail shaft. You will still have to move the crossmember.

[@SniderTron3000]

Truuueee 🤔

Hey Josh I wanted to connect with you to discuss getting you to do an LS swap for me…I have sent you a couple messages on Instagram…what’s the best way to contact you?

[@SniderTron3000]

Email is the easiest to keep track of [e-mail] But, I'm admittedly pretty bad at responding to people right away. I'll click on it and start reading it and be like "yeah, I'll remember to respond to this later" and you know how that goes lol
