Well I just spent an hour or so out rummaging about in my parts car for the Olds, a '79 Cutlass I drug home last summer. First thing I did was verify for sure that it has a TH350 under there and sure enough it does so that was good to find out. Next thing I noticed was that the front sway bar is unusually large, could it be someone stuck one of the F41 sway bars in there, sadly no rear bar at all. Another goody was apparently the parts car has a quick ratio steering box and hydroboost brakes, goodies you will find in a GN

Looks like I have more to move over than just the body panels.

Was that Cutlass a diesel in a previous life? If it was it would have those parts.

I just had that with the E34 M5 I decided to part out - found brand new Bilsteins and brakes all around. Score 1.

Usually "brand new engine" means "brand new used oil in a really tired about to blow up engine". My $500 Volvo with a "brand new engine" turned out to have just that.

This car was not however '80 was a diesel but had a Poncho 301 swapped in. This one had an Olds 350 swapped in.

On a side note I finally got my new engine hoist assembled and got the 403 outa the back of Tiffs Tacoma.
