How do install a chevy 400 into a 68' Cutlass?
A customer of mine wants to install a CHEVY 400 small block and 400 transmissio out of a 76 chevy pickup. What mods need to be done to get this motor/tranny combo into the 68' Cutlass?

...lordy lordy... don't give him a price.. give him an hourly rate. Sorry..400 chevy into 68 cutlass..yeah..could be the same price as getting an olds motor redone ?Thanks for the reply, after some research, I've discovered it's gonna be a mission to get this done. He said he'd pay me 2500 for the job. Hopefully I can get it done in 2 weeks. I got a shop to pull the old motor and trans out and install the new one for 600, he will fabricate the mount towers and crossmember, I got another driveline shop that will modify the driveline for 300. That leaves me 1600 to get whatever I need to make it work.

SD, can you point me in the right direction to an oldsmobile supplier that sells BOP parts i.e. rebuilt longblocks, chrome dress up kits, etc. ? He wants me to put together another longblock and tranny to install into another cutlass shell.
