i have a 1986 monte and i wanna put a 307 ho olds motor in the car what do i need?

 

i'm not positive on this but from what i can remember from my demo derby days i think you will need different motor mounts. i would think the accessory drive is pretty similar but if i was you i would try to poke your head under the hood of an olds so you can compare. overall, it should be a pretty straight forward swap.

oh ps- you might need an adapter plate to mount up to the 200r4.

 

your going to need an adapter for the trans. and i would take everything with the motor. just in case power steering pulley might be different. not to bother but why do you want to run that motor? the 307ho had a "hotcam" but didnt make any horsepower or torque. it was a 170hp/250tq motor when it was fresh. i had one in my gutlass and it sucked only good thing is that they were indestructible. also if you are pulling it from a 442 take the rear while your there its got the same 8.5 10 bolt that was in the grand national but with 3.73s in it.

 

is your 86 Monte a factory V-8 or V-6 car?

 

everything has to be changed to put a olds motor in a car with a chev motor.
no acc.will fit as they are not the same the batt. is on the wrong side. the wiring harness will have to be changed up a little the starter and alt are on the opposite side as the chevy.
if you have the th200r4 trans you have a dual bolt paturn trans so your good there.

 

sorry i havent been on but just got the net at my house so ill be on pretty much everyday now but anyway. i have the 307 ho motor and the 350turbo trans i had to change everything from the pass to the driverside and the wiring but now its just the motor mounts hahaha cant find them anywhere i know im getting alot of crap for doing this but i just wanted to see if i could do it or not and i was short on cash so

 

i have pix of what i did but i dont know how to put them up on the site
