Engine swap question
Hey, I have a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with a stock 307 in it, and I was wondering if a swap with an 86 Chevy Suburban 350 would be clean, or if I'd need to get a new transmission, hood (witha cowl), engine mounts, ect. I've neevr done a swap myself, so I'm pretty unsure right now, but I do have people who have helping me. Any answers would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Re: Engine swap question
I have done my share of swaps and no matter how simple you think it's going to be, it's always going to be tougher the first time.
Here's a checklist to help smooth things out. - Motor mounts the same? - Bellhousing the same bolt pattern? - Block Dimensions - Wiring Harnesses need to be modified? Or can similar be found? - Did both Engines use the same ECU? (I believe they did in your case) - Draw full diagram of Vacuum lines - Compatability of Emissions Control Equipment - Cooling system (Hose Locations?) This is just to get you started. Good luck with the swap. |
