Buy an Olds 350, it's a straight drop-in for the 307, readily available from most any engine rebuilder, and if emissions is an issue all the original smog...
Any certain year of engine to look for? Will the exhaust and intake manifolds switch over? ... From: Jeff To: stationwagon@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...
What bothers me most about the Oldsmobile engine is the transmission options. The 700R4 would be my preference, but the bell housing will not fit the Olds. ...
I know what you mean about the 307. I had one in an 84 Delta 88, and my brother has one in his 86 Safari. Not nearly enough torque for the car empty, never...
Thanks for the replys to my post. I guess I should have checked into it more before buying the 89 model. I liked it because of how good of shape its in for an...
Don't despair! You still have a nice car within reach. First, yes, the 307's intake and exhaust manifolds will fit the 350 with no problems. Second, yes, the...
Jeff and Mike, I like the idea of a 350 chevy and transmission deal you both mentioned. Has anyone on here ever done that swap? Just wondering if the...
Well, in my opinion your "ideal" donor car would be an 88-90 Caprice that's equipped with the TBI fuel system. This would garner you all the ancillary stuff...
It seems to be an annual opt out program so you need to opt out on each computer you access Yahoo groups on and remember to do it every year. If you belong to...
Just to add further to this thread, there are a couple of points that haven't been mentioned. First, the 307 Intake should not be used on a 350 engine. All...
One thing for sure, these modifications add up to a lot of money! I had a 1988 Caprice Estate for a quarter of a million miles and I thought it was a fine...
Would that rear bumper fit a 1988 Buick Estate wagon? I was hit by a drunk driver and live in Stone Mountain. I went to the info.yahoo.com and to get it to...
Well, most current 350's are Chevy and 307's are Olds. Olds and Buicks generally match, as do Pontiacs and Chevys. You can quickly fabricate an adapter, put...

I had thought you had to meet the engine or vehicle standard, which ever was newer. However, half an hour of bumbling through the EPA web site produces no...
Shirley, Marty's bumper should fit your car just fine--I think all the 77-90 B-wagons used the same rear bumper, or if not there would be minor differences...
The Olds 350 was in production up through 1979 (used in the 79 Hurst/Olds) and is shown as an option in 1980 as well. ... Buicks generally match, as do...
You're right Marty, it can add up in a hurry. It is a shame on the power of the 307 because you couldn't ask for a smoother running motor. I was talking to a...
Since several of you make Martinsville, why not do as many NASCAR fans doi for races - co-op a rental. Leave the wagon stock, and leave it at home. This lets...
Hello, If anyone can help me: I am looking for the 2 metal hold down devices that bolt on the rear tail gate window of a 78 chevy caprice wagon. (these parts...

Shirley, My bumper will fit your car. Please come and get it. It's in Fayetteville, but you'll have to wait until I get home on about the 25th. I may be...
In Georgia, you may swap engines. The standard is set by the car and not the engine. If I put a 455 in may '88 Caprice it has to test just like the 307 and...
Thank you for that information--it was very hard to downsize from the big Buick wagon to a FocusZX3. The Focus has been fine, but a tight fit! Shirley B....
Wow! Thank you so much. I am going out tomorrow to measure the inside of the Focus versus the width of the Buick--we will strap it on/in in some manner! ...
Iowa rules are such that it's based on the motor not the body; my wife's aunt worked for the Wisconsin DOT for emissions and she claims it's the same there but...
here a scan of the 1982 Ford wagons lineup brochure showing the Escort, the LTD Country Squire, and the Granada wagon (who was a slightly rebodied Fairmont...
Very very nice!!!! Nothing similar for my Chevrolet Caprice Estate SW 1987?? regards 2009/1/11 Mark Karol-Chik <spookysgarage@...> ... [Non-text portions...
Try ebay. There's a Chilton manual, Ford Power train manual, Ford electrical manual and a Ford body chassis manual. Unfortunately there's no "granada manual"....
