Good day, I have a customer that wants to remove a blown 4.1 liter engine from his 1985 hearse. He wants to swap it with a 350 l. He says an Olds 350 will fit. Will another mid 80's M 5.0 liter or 5.7l fit? Also and does anyone have a site that would tell me the specifics. He of course wants to keep it simple and inexpensive as he could. I also know of 1991 Deville in running condition that may be purchased for the swap.
I know this may be hashed out befroe buy I was inable to locate this info.
Thanks.

85 hearse is RWD 91 deville is FWD. If you can locate 91-92 350 sbc Brougham swap engine, trans,harnesses etc. Olds power you will need to go old school: 86-90 Brougham for frame mounts and 350 or bigger engine with all accessory brackets. It should be a fairly easy swap. If re-using 200r4 - beef it up to take it or find THM400 and custom driveshaft as necessary.

I thank you, I might have been mistaken on the deville, I haven't seen it and the guy who told me said it was a rear wheel drive.
I think I'm going to go with the Olds package though. It sounds easier to find.
Thanks for the reply
