I think a larger oiling circuit with priority main oiling would be an upgrade, if that's planned. But there are ways around that. Agree, another very expensive aftermarket block doesn't seem to be...

I certainly understand Paul's point about the pistons. Having to make some valve pocket corrections to fit new heads is certainly not a show stopper for me. But I have a Bridgeport and a BHJ super...

Some good points in this thread. I don't get a "hater vibe" from this thread. IMO, there is no single head that is going to give every Pontiac person exactly what they want or are looking for. Don...

$54.95 for 1 piece direct from BOP.

Car will run great at 10.8 compression on pump gas. Like Steve mentioned, the one piece if missing information is the condition, age, #of runs on the short block. Without completely pricing it...
