Get someone else to do it. What is the big deal about Butler having to rebuild anyone's engine ?

Yep been hearing that all to often, their book solid for a year. They don’t just do Pontiac engines.

There is always the pride of know you did it and turned every nut and bolt yourself. You could write a check and have it done. But its not the same. |

(I am sure that the Butler family is not going to starve because you will not have them work on your engine. Same deal with Tony Bischoff.) Have a good day. Tom V.

Not rocket science Stan. If the date is too far out then depending on where he is located in the US there are other qualified engine builders out there. No mention, from others, about where the ECM guys have gotten their engines build over the years. So without info you really can't make any decision. Just complain about Butlers possible delivery date. This is really not hard, Stan. TV

Butler is big into LS engines now. You don't have to have a "Pontiac" engine builder. It's nice but not necessary. The best engine I ever had built was not built by a Pontiac person but by someone who really knew what he was doing and then dynoed before released to me. That engine was raced for 4 years and has been driven so far 21 years on the street.

There’s more money in building LS engines and BBC then building Pontiac engines Only problem is finding a that good engine builder in your area. Ask Chiarelli..LOL

Here’s my take, I could be wrong. There’s more money in doing LS motors, only real money in a Pontiac hobby is selling rotating assembly kits. Heads etc. specially as the majority using stock blocks. The availability of stock blocks and what you have to go through to make sure it’s a good block. I had a friend call recently they told him 9 months or better before they could even consider giving him a price. They have real good video of the whole process to go through to check out a stock block. It’s very time consuming and labor intense. VS dealing with aftermarket block.

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.
