1966 Olds Delta 88
Hello all! I am planning a swap into this old girl and am about to start locating a donor vehicle. I am not too fussy if it is a 6.2 or a 6.5 but I sure would like it to be turbo charged. The car sits with a recent body restoration, awesome TH400, and a 425 big CRACKED big block. Obviously the big block would weigh about the same as a diesel, I would need a diesel torque converter (maybe fronm the donor), but do I need to change the gearing in the rear end? It currently runs highway gears (3.lowish or 2.highish), but will they suffice for decent highway speed with no O/D?
I currently have two wee diesels (Jeep CRD and VW Jetta) and since purchasing them will never have a gasser again.
I am educating myself on the dtails of the conversion but any info (or similar swaps) would be much appeciated.
Mike
