I found a correct WS block with in one mount of build date. Bought a new auto gear trans for it.
X2, I like the idea of building another engine. I've torn my stuff apart, and got it all back together, but it just takes too long. Rest of my "projects" will be 1-2 weekend ordeals. I'm not allowing them to be undrivable for any length of time...

I think those type paint schemes are called, ..."Feel'n Groovy"

Welcome aboard, Dave. Making memories in your brother's car -driving the wheels off it- is such a fitting tribute to him.

I dare say that the vast majority of us here would be happy knowing that the Pontiacs we love would be driven by our family members and/or close friends after we're gone. (I know I would.)
