Recipe for a reliable 400 driver
My goal is to build a dead-reliable, drive anywhere, Pontiac 400 that will hold up for a bunch of miles. I am not going for high performance, just similar to what a stock 1971 engine would have. Stories of lifter failures and “China” parts that fail have me wondering.
Do I need a roller cam and all that entails? What compression ratio is okay to avoid pinging on 91 or lower octane. The ignition modules in my Accel HEI fail occasionally, is there a better, longer lasting choice for ignition/distributor? I have a 1971 block with 96 heads going into a 1972 lemans |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
