I just sold my 94 3.4 DOHC cutlass. I over reved the engine and bent a rod. Sat for a while and since I bought a GTP I sold it. Kinda sucks because I had slotted rotors, sway bars, KYB struts and a Viper alarm put on it. Because of the issue with the engine I almost gave it away. Nobody wanted to buy it. The body was in great shape, the top half of the motor was redone. I thought for sure I wouldve sold it easily. Took me a few years to sell it.
Anyway, your car is looking sweet.

i'd love a cutty vert' make it much easier to cage than the 442 was lol
we are tearing apart al's 93 GP SE (former LQ1 car) for glass, subframe, brakes etc for the 442
not so great news...
the 89 cutlass ciera Jyard hauler has its 125c 3 spd dieing horribly...
so in order to get al's DD/Jyard whore back on the road it'll be getting the LN3 3800/4 spd 440t4 thats currently in the rear of the 442
buh bye! wimpy 2.8 helloooo LN3 TQ! not to mention the better fuel economy from the OD...
this on top of the 100$ 96 lumina APV (the new larger Jyard whore) that has a bad HG on the 3400...so at this point we're thinking 3800 SII...
though if his wife gets off her ass and works on her L67... we'll take the 3400 from her 01 GAGT and toss it in the van

i certainly hope you dont keep track of how many swaps you do.
...that and i for sure hope that no one ever suspects you of chop shopping cars--- all those different engines/trans with mismatched vins etc

i quit counting a few years back after swappinga 460 into a 67 notch, and a 351W into an allis chalmers tractor...and I will probably continue long after i stuff my SI/SII hybrid onto the cressida wagon...
thats what i love about GM's the ability to swap drivetrains is pretty damn straightforward... for the most part the drivetrains just swap cars that al or his family owns...as for chopshop...i dont think modern engines/tranny's are VIN stamped... as long as we throw in a motor thats the same year or newer we're set

heh you are soo wrong on that.... most have at least one stamping, if not more... not neccessarily a full vin, but a derivative on some. partial vin on others. -- even other major components may be marked also (think truck rear axle housings, --thats how they identified/tracked the vehicle that blew up the federal builing in OKC way back when)

in the 90's GM (and other manufacturers) went with stick on barcodes for parts tracking etc...easier to scan a barcode than read stamped in digits
they also come right off the block easily...
especially when removing casting flash thats just dead weight...

thats what they want you to think... seriously
i'd tell you more, but i'd have to kill you
