As long as the '71 Lemans was'nt a factory 455 car,your golden.
Just use the "STD" pontiac V-8 frame brackets and motor mounts for the '71 Lemans. Those brackets and mounts use the same exact bolt locations as the '67 block used. Now go let out a refreshing sigh of relief! HTH. Bret P. |

The only other stumbling block would be if the car was running a '77 or later 400 with the newer style engine mounts. They could have swapped out the frame mounts on the car which would make the 67 motor not bolt right in unless correct frame mounts were re-installed. Otherwise Bret is right on.
Also, if the 67 motor is out of a big car then the oil filter adapter is a 90 degree unit and may hit the a-frame on the Lemans when installed and the engine under load. Simply swap in an a-body adapter and your good there too. |

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.
