Ok, the repairs have been made. I had to do a bit of creative modifying to the bottom of the chassis. All the exhaust and drive shaft was molded in. I had to remove it all for a more correct Pro Street exhaust and an aluminum drive shaft to be installed later and had to remove the molded in trans cross member and add a cut down one from the Chevelle chassis and paint it up. I just realized I had no picture of the new cross member modification as it was done during new engine fitment and I did not take a picture. I will add one later.

Here is some pictures of the anemic motor that was in the car. I had a motor from a Warren Johnson Pro Stock Olds. I rebuilt it and painted it up kind of close to Oldsmobile gold, did aluminum on the heads. Look close, the valve covers have Oldsmobile letters on them. I had to make a custom engine plate for the front of the motor. I painted it aluminum and drilled some holes in it for the correct look. Here it is. This motor was just all wrong for this car in my opinion. and that battery was almost as big as the motor! Here is the new motor, This shot was before I drilled and painted the engine plate on a test fit.
