yes i have done it before,,i own a repair shop in Tennessee,,and once in a while we do a few engine swaps,,this is a easy on to do,,you need the v-8 stands from a Chevy,,or Oldsmobile,,you also need a transmission,,because the 231 wont work on it,,a good 350 turbo will work fine in it,,most of the wiring harness is the same,,not much to do there,,the radiator will have to be changed also,you may need to get the cross member from a Oldsmobile v-8,,i don't think the one for the 231 will work,,but you can look at it and see,,other than that,,its all pretty much put it in,,and hook it up,,there,s no cutting or welding to do at all on it,,its all bolt on,,you will find the gear ratio,,really wound up on it,,because of the 231 it had in it,,other than that,,you,ll need a starter,,and the rest is,just bolt on,,and hook up,,good luck,,i hope this help,s.

Well it has a lot to do if the cutlass has the Chevy 3.8 or Buick 3.8 . Quick way to tell Chevy motor has distributor in the rear of motor Buick motor has distributor in the front of motor. Also is the 350 a Chevy Buick or Olds 350? There are so many combinations you really have to narrow it down. Also year of cutlass. Have owned a auto repair shop for last 16 years,hardly any modification is just bolt on.

As Kelly W said, more info would be nice. Dodge man is right for the most part. You will also need some exhaust work and probably a different drive shaft if you replace the tranny.
