You guys will shoot me but if it were me, I'd hang on to those 326s. You never know when you might need a spare while you're getting the one in the car rebuilt. When I lived up in Northern NY I couldn't find a 326 at all anywhere.
If it's a matching numbers engine to your specific car and still runs..,, DO hang on to it as it makes your car worth more, no matter what the cubic inches are. Sorry but I couldn't hold back my  .

Thanks for the replies...
I'm running one bottle of Water Wetter, the stuff does work - never occured to use two bottles! I'll give that a try. The belts aren't slipping, nice and tight, and I have ran it with the cap off. I had a long talk w/ the owner of Alumitech Radiators (that's what I'm running, expensive but what a work of art!) he told me to run at least a 15lb cap and get a high flow stat - so I've ordered a FlowKooler and I'll pick up another cap in the next day or so. Now I've got a fuel delivery issue...the car stalled out on me twice and I ended up getting it towed home! I think there's something blocking the sending unit...the sock got all jacked up or something. I've got to get it towed back to my office so I can get that sorted out. Keeping the 326...there's some validity to your point but I didn't want to keep mine - sold it on eBay for $230.00, tranny and all. The little kinks aside - she runs great and I'm very happy with the results!!!

Try a 16 lb cap. Make sure you are using a 19" fan too which is what the 455 came with. I would not recommend using the 17" fan that came with the 326. Hopefully your not using that, if you are consider changing it. I used a 19" A/C fan for my 462.

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.
