(I posted this same thread in the new-comers section. I wanted as many eyes to see it as possible so I wouldn't miss out on any good info.)

Hello all...



I'm new to this website and since I'm about to undergo a restore
project on my 85 Cutlass Supreme, I figured I'd join a website who's
members might be able to provide me with some information or pointers...



The Cutlass I own has been mine for 10 years. I'm second owner and the
current engine is an Olds 307 with 143K on it. My uncle owns a
junkyard and gave me a Chevy 350 that I'm going to swap out the 307
for. Over this weekend I was able to break the 350 down to the crank
and found out I didn't have a 4 bolt main (I had my fingers crossed
too), but the engine was otherwise in good condition. It had truck
chassis supports so I figured it came out of a Suburban or something
like that. I'm going to have the block machined and start buying the
performance parts next week...



I want to install headers, new carburetor (of course), and flat top pistons, at least...

I don't want a race car. I just want a strong machine that's going to move when I punch it...



Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated...
