I have a 1985 coupe De'Ville with a piece of s*** 4100. I put a nice paint job and new interior but I want to get rid of this 4100, what else can I put in it? I have heard of people putting olds mobile motors in them but I think they were rear wheel drive. This one is a front wheel drive, help needed. Thanks.

If your talking about a Olds Toronado 1985 , if they were made that year it would be a motor you can swap, it has always been a front wheel drive car...And when I worked in a wrecking yard back in 96, there was a small Toronado and it was basically the same as the Caddy Coupe De'Ville front wheel drive that was right beside it..Just my thoughts ..Right or wrong..
