Absolutely positive. Dual bolt patterns, "MX2" cast on the bellhousing. Anyway it better be, 'cause it's sitting on my floor. :happy:

Well you can joke all you like, lol. I just got a 350C, multi-fit case, MX2, out of an '83 Olds Cutlass. Made by Buick, covered with crud, seems intact under it all. Exactly what I was looking...
It could come to that. Meanwhile, about a dozen shops to call, one or two other yards ....
Meanwhile, another problem. I was planning to rebuild a 350C tranny. A suitable prospect is listed by that local yard I mentioned, that has a web site that seems to show actual current stock. So I...
In that case only the Cadillac info was close. I was looking at MVMA docs. Maybe the others, someone had poor eyesight and mistook "6" for "8".
This I still don't get. These cars all have the same L05 with the same mechanical components. The only difference is the air cleaner box. How can the compression be different, let alone the power...
Then again, it can't be. Available info says the '93 Fleetwood ONLY had the 4L60 (700R4). So I have NO IDEA what BFYZ is about. :rockon:
Thanks for the info. Not what I want to hear, but what I want to know ....
GAAK, this L05 is getting very murky. I can't get a straight answer on the truck version. Did it really have a flat tappet cam? The cars had roller. What exactly was the truck compression? And...
No, I meant replies to my Car-Part.com inquiries. But see the preceding.
As Sherlock Holmes used to say, the game is afoot. :happy:
So I called about the BCWZ, reaching a certain "U Pick U Save" in Anaheim (Orange County, other end of the state). The guy who answered...
I'm assuming TH400 for BFYZ. It rings a bell that the L05 had that option. Of course no replies.
Anyway, the truck L05 has 9.3:1 compression, where the car has 9.8. You could use the truck long...
You snuck up on me while I was editing #59.
I went back and found those two listings. Missed them before. Thanks!
I dunno about the BFYZ "manual hearse" (what TunerCAT's CalData says), but I submitted an inquiry about that, as well as the...
Car-Part.com is mostly stale listings mixed with a few dead links. Most yards don't even reply. I found a few items locally one time, but that was on their own web site that uses a totally...
In your (earlier) words:
So (now) it "isn't that bad"?
What I'm stressing is the RULE that any motor I swap into my California-certified car must be a California-certified car motor.
All...
Most people on this site don't live in California. And knowing the rules, I'm not going to invest a lot of time, trouble and money based on assumptions and wild guesses about what a Referee might or...
I should, but I don't. First, in California a truck motor is not allowed in a passenger car (not even light duty truck). That reduces the list drastically. The long block could possibly be used,...
How did you find out about this, anyway? Is it mentioned on their website somewhere?
These days the main reason it's there could be the "Cash For Clunkers" program. Past a certain number of years you won't get much from anybody for it, so that might be your best deal if you just...
Sorry for confusion. The official "Engine Change Guidelines" say that the Referee needs "proof" of which certification the donor engine has, California or Federal. But he only has your word for it...
This has me wondering. I can see how you might get a Pick-n-Pull motor out of the donor. How do you then roll that 600+ lbs all the way out over all that deep gravel to the point where you can load...
Well now that's putting a positive spin on it! :happy:
I just came back to comment on this. Neither a label nor an EO is "proof" of anything, just your statement that a piece of paper applies to your swap. A piece of paper with info that tells the...
So, not only did dave w remove some of his own posts, he also removed my post that mentioned the fact, and selectively edited my post #22 replying to someone else to remove mention of the subject...
