i`ll try to avoid the big Ford rigs. As i said before, this is not the original engine. The original one was a 3.8 v6. I got this one off a truck, and it`s a 305(there is writing on it). And the truck was an 88 Chevy 1500, fuel injected, i turned it to carburated. Sorry about ur cutlass man, i really am. My dad lost his 83 Malibu that way, only this time it was a drunk bitch in one of those 70`s lincolns. After the accident, the car was totally wrecked, but guess what, his 350 was still working. CHEVY POWER. Tell me more about ur ex Cutlass....
