you can put a SBC in a 1972 olds, i have a 72 cutlass also and intend on putting my 400SBC in it in about a month or so. you would have to change the motor mounts, even though they are both GM, the BOP (Buick olds Pontiac) are different than GMC and Chevrolet. the transmission would have to change also, i have a BOP TH350 trans but will have to change to a Chevy TH350 because the holes are a little bit different. the accessory mounting brackets are also different, im not sure if you have Power Steering pump and AC compressor etc. for the Chevy but id hit up the junkyard for what you can and make life a little easier and cheaper.
200 horse power
I put a 1972 350 old's engine in my 1984 cutlass supreme. It had a 307 and the swap went smooth. It bolted rite up to the turbo 350 transmission also. The engines have the same block so the weight difference was no problem. My cutlass is for sale if you know anyone that is interested. My #573-692-3558 The motor has 20,000 miles on a complete rebuild. Water pump, alternator, carburetor, distributor all new with the rebuild!
