Quick search found a few TSB's for the '12 transmissions. http://www.fordproblems.com/tsbs/Transit_Connect/2012/

Great that you're able to keep your friend's memory alive in bringing his truck back onto the road. Congrats on the project and end result. Turned out great.

Clay, I like these. http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/500/530/530-806041.jpg

Thanks for all the info, Kerry. I have a fair amount of knowledge on the car and 442s in general, and have been doing a lot of research recently knowing that I would be buying the car from my buddy. I've lost count of how many olds shows and trips to Carlisle I've taken over the years for this car and for another friend who has a '67 442. I have no plans to deviate from an Oldsmobile powertrain at this point, so I may eventually look into adding a correct 400 cu in engine to the mix. The Cutlass S rear end is another weak point with it only being a 10 bolt and (from what I remember) this one was equipped with and open 2.73 rear end. That may need to change pretty soon too. I'm now really starting to research more on the suspension portion of the car as well. The bad thing about this frame is that we had to add some patches back when we did the restoration 20 years ago, and if any real HP will be added, the frame will need to be really worked on or replaced. I've already began searches for A body frames. You can buy box kits for hardtop frames for fairly cheap, so that gives me more options in finding one at a decent price. Really looking forward to just spending some time on the car, freshening it up and driving her this summer.

It's originally a Cutlass S, but he did a few of the changes to make it a 442. Still need a number of other additions to complete the clone conversion.

Thanks fellas. It's an auto. Hard Shift in Johnstown built the tranny a few years back.

HEY! Thanks Clay!

It's kinda rough looking, but it's a very solid running 350. This area will be getting some updates fairly soon. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=934&pictureid=8090

Thanks Doc! Lots of memories with this car and I can definitely say that I'm proud to own it.

My buddy bought this Olds and we restored it 20 years ago. Yesterday, he passed it on to me. Will need to go through a few things, but am super excited to be the new owner of this car. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=934&pictureid=8088 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=934&pictureid=8089

Looking for a no-frills desktop for the garage that works well. Pretty simple. Whatcha got?

Go there for the crab cakes, stay for the free Nike's.
