Hey folks, had to find a new forum, as we just bought a 98 Bonneville SE last week! Previous owner bought it as a drivetrain donor for his 343K Olds LSS. He replaced the upper intake, starter, and ps pump. He drove it for a week, and realized it was way too nice to part out! Only 111K on it, and has a passable cheap repaint on it. Owned more cars than I can remember, but the first two were colonnade coupes, a 74 Malibu, then a 75 LeMans. I have a 70 Suburban that'* been sitting awhile, and we just retired our last family truckster, a 94 Ciera w/201K! Spent a good bit of time on the A body forum, keeping the Olds and a previous 96 Century running. -Adam

Looks really good for 1,500.00 to me, very nice score!
Thanks for sharing the pic!

Welcome to the forum, Adam! Congrats on such a great deal - the car looks great. This forum really is a ton of help. With a little bit of research you can find an answer to all your questions.

Ask the previous owner if he replace the lower intake gaskets when the upper intake was replaced.

Nice car.

Good call, if the plastic lined LIM gasket was not changed over to the aluminum framed gasket, then I highly suggest having that done, or risk future catastrophic engine failure.
