Ls Swapped G Body-1983 G Body

This Ls Swapped G Body is a 1983 Oldsmobile G Body cutlass that has an ls1 engine, disc upgrades, new led lights and so much more. In this video we talk about the history, and everything we've done to the Cutlass. It's still an ongoing project that my dad and I have been working on for many years.

i loved that 83..my dad and grand pa had one. i want one.

[@CutlassVibes]

Good memories! I have some awesome memories with my parents 83' that's why I wanted the same car as I got older. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching Cutlass Vibes.

Nice ,im a 85 brougham guy but a cutty is a cutty.

Thank you sir and yes I agree a Cutty is a cutty. I appreciate you watching!

[@markrichie897]

I truly enjoyed the back story why you wanted this car. The time you spent wenching on it with your dad is priceless. I also have the first car I bought back in January of 1979 a Chevy Malibu . It has not been a daily driver since 1991. Time goes by children grow up parents leave us . When I drive or work on it yesterday becomes today. Sometimes the past makes the present easier. I shared all that with you because I believe you get it. Enjoy Mark

[@CutlassVibes]

I really enjoy comments like this...I appreciate it very much. Yes sir all that time spent with my dad wrenching on it is definitely priceless. Memories that I will always carry with me until my last day here on this earth. Luckily I still have my pops to help me out in present projects with this car and I love that! I hope I can do the same with my son, and make memories with him with this same car someday. I get exactly what your saying in this comment. I think it's super awesome that you still have your first car!!! I would like to see a picture of it someday sir. Thank you very much for taking the time to type this awesome comment, and for watching this video.

Just a good, honest guy that loves his ride because its HIS! I've always been a 3rd gen F body fan and my son and I have owned a few. Been looking hard at some G body's as my grandfather had a beautiful 84 cutlass with t tops that he waxed so much my dad used to say that he was going to wax the paint off of it! Your story has inspired me! Thank you!

Thank you very much I appreciate that. I think it's pretty cool that your working on a Cutlass yourself! I bought the fittings for the AC lines online, and put them together the way I wanted them, and had a local business here in my small hometown press the fitting on the hoses for me. Any shop that works with hydraulic hoses should be able to press them for you. The air intake honestly I don't know where it was bought, or the brand. It was a piece one of my buddies had, and we cut it to fit. I do know I went with a K&N air filter, because I bought it myself. I would like to know more about what you have done so far on your Cutlass. Sorry I wasn't more help on those 2 questions you had for me.

It's called the 4x6 kit and you can contact Hector via phone [phone] or email at [e-mail]. He is very helpful and will answer all your questions. Thanks for watching.

Where did you mount the pcm...insdie or the engine bay?

[@CutlassVibes]

I mounted it inside in the middle at the very bottom under the radio area. I do show it in some videos if you would like to see it. Thank you for watching Cutlass Vibes!

What headers did you go with ?

[@CutlassVibes]

I went with Speed Engineering long tube headers, BUT I did have to beat them a little to fit. I've heard there are some expensive ones that fit perfectly...I guess just depends how much money you have at the time. Thank you for the comment.

Hey man I have a 1984 cutlass supreme Oldsmobile; it don’t run and has been sitting for a while because it’s passed down to me. I’m 16 and there’s currently a 307 in it and plan on swapping it out for a sbc 350. Any advice for me? Anything helps.

[@CutlassVibes]

Hey bud going from a 307 to a 350 should be a pretty easy swap. I went from a 3.8L to a 350 sbc and 2 major things I had to do was move the motor mounts and extend the fuel lines to the passenger side but your swap might and I'm not 100% sure but it might bolt on in the same spot where your mounts are. And I believe the 307 already has the fuel pump on the passenger side so that shouldn't be hard to connect. Are you going to have some help doing this?

[@Yoursuggerdaddy]

@@CutlassVibes Yes, I will have help. I appreciate this advice man! Love your content and your cutlass🤝🏿🔥

@x_16xI I hope it helps and I appreciate your support very much!

Put a sump on it with a return line

[@CutlassVibes]

Thank you for your comment. I learned that the Holley kit I installed regulates the pressure internally, and it returns excess fuel within the tank. So all I need to do is go directly to a filter and straight to the engine and the other one is the vent. Hopefully I'll be doing that soon. Thanks for watching!

[@user-hu4ib3wc7h]

I have an 81 and 85. 81 is a v6 and 85 a v8. Which one would you recommend or starter car doesn’t really matter since swapping anyways

[@CutlassVibes]

Nice that you have 2 of them! Either one will work like you said since your swapping anyways. What are you thinking of swapping in there?

I have a 1987 cutlass with 350sbc 350th .the 350 is a gas hug ! I have a 2004r that came out still good was wondering if I should drop it back in alot of ppl telling me not to mess with the 2004r I like it tho

[@CutlassVibes]

That's cool that you have a 1987! I had a 2004r on mine and it worked just fine...if your just going to drive it around it will work. Now if you are going to hammer it alot then I would go with a 700 r4 or even better a level 2 or 3 700 r4 then you can beat on it and have some fun!

@@CutlassVibes I want to drive it around everyday summer spring fall car just not winter I do like to peel out sometimes get down on her she got 22s inch knockoff rims on her my 350th needs rebuild still drives but slips a Lil in 1st gear not to bad but its also gas hug would the 2004r be great to build a street strip everyday car?

[@CutlassVibes]

I understand....that transmission would work great for a daily driver all year round. I wouldn't trust it to well to race or peel out too often. That's just my opinion of course....you sure can try it and give it a shot! A built 700r4 takes alot more beating. Just a little info...let me know what you decide and how it does. Since you already have the 2004r I say run it!

I'm strongly considering ls swapping my 84 cutlass supreme that my uncle gave me. It's my first time rebuilding a car and I'll be doing the work with my dad too. What advice do you have for someone like me just starting out?

[@CutlassVibes]

That is so awesome that you and your dad will be working on it together. Those are some incredible memories that you will never forget. My advice is for you to just go for it....don't be afraid to get started and have a great time while working on it with your dad. One more thing, please keep us updated of the progress.

[@evanspark1510]

you know what bro sometimes you just have to break down and spend a little more and get a better starting point, youll thank yourself. Specially if your gonna restore these newer 80s and 90s cars that are dime a dozen every where still, like my guy here, he had to buy a parts car, just to get metal when he couldve saved his troubles and found a solid one altogether!

[@CutlassVibes]

I totally agree with you for sure and if I was going to build another one I would do that exactly no doubt. The only reason I didn't do that is because this is my first car ever. My parents bought it for me when I was only 15 years old and it has alot of sentimental value for me. If it wasn't for that....heck I sure would of done exactly what you said.
