That seems like a fair price for the stated condition for the complete engine and trans. Maybe see if he'll take $1500?

If you do buy it, re-list the trans to see if you can get a couple...

That would be a fairly 'correct' 71 400 for you (YS would have been from an automatic car, but regardless), $1400 is too high for a core short block, IMO.

If it was a complete engine, especially...

Couple thoughts of mine, Phoenix...

I would preserve the markings on the firewall if it were me (I did on my 67 GTO), but as others have said, personal preference. I don't know if it's make or...

Phoenix, I can understand your hesitation with budget constraints, but as far as your skills? If you have successfully built a SBC, you can certainly build a Pontiac. Sure, they're different, but...

Fantastic!

Nice to have all the original parts if you decide to keep the car stock.

I built a mild stock 455 for my 72 GT, and simply set the original 350 on a stand in the corner of the...

Look at the right side of the main case. You will see a cast in date code on the case body, a standard 4 letter/digit combo that indicates the date code.

Just above that on a machined pad,...
