I've searched and googled, but most people that have the best luck seem to be fabbing up their own. I've got a '84 Cutlass and wanting to know which mounts, oil pan, long tube headers, and if I can use the stock tranny crossmember with my TH350. I can't weld, so home fab is out. Don't wanna spend an arm and a leg on just mounts. Solid mounts are fine and actually preferred. Thanks. Sorry if it's been asked a bunch, I just couldn't find what I was looking for.

EDIT: Sorry, not much background. I mean I'm not wanting to get a pan cut-up and rewelded, and don't want to have to cut/fab much in the car. The car is going to be a street/strip car running mid 10's if it matters. Thanks again.

Alot of people get the "carshopinc" adapter plates and use the factory motor mounts on the swaps. Thats what I did. As for oil pan- lh8 or cts-v pan should work best. I went with the lh8 pan. Headers are all over the place. Most shorty types will work. I beleive pacesetter makes a set that fits with little mods. Use the search feature on this forum. X member depends on how the factory trans sat, or was equiped with

Cool deal. Thanks. Would like to stay with long tubes if possible. I'll do some more looking around. Thanks again.

supreme 84 is a member here and swapped an ls into 84 cutty, but a set of f-body longtubes will fit your car with either very little mods or none at all depending on the manafacturer. Pacesetters = no mods

Yea, that's what made get alittle more motivated about doing the swap. But he made his engine mounts I believe. I really like hearing the headers will all but fit, engine swap headers are always crazy high it seems. Hopefully be buying the mounts, headers, and crossmember from "billyflantos". I think it'll make for a cool car, be something different. The car's been hanging around for over two years. Didn't want to buy another "roller" with it still sitting there. lol. Thanks for all the help guys.
