OLDS engine swap?
Hey guys I saw a truck yesterday that gave me some hope! it had a 350 olds under the hood with manufactuered olds engine mounts. I've been wanting to put my 425 66 toro motor in it forever because of the stock power and it's already done (420hp 520lb) but didn't want to try and fabricate motor mounts because for me it would take forever. Does anyone know where you can get a set or anyone who makes custom motor mounts?
Thanks! |

dont' know about custom motor mounts but a chevy pattern trans will not bolt up to an Olds motor. You probably knew that already, but just in case.

the 73 & up motor mount towers are very nice for odd ball swaps. I know for a fact they are the shiznit for both pontiac and caddy swaps.

I knew that....fine 69 and I were talking about it 6 months ago or so.
Get the motor mount towers from a 350 diesel truck, and get a BOP tranny...and it will be a nut and bolt job. Good catch there 3 on the tree. |
