Well I couldnt talk my friend out of his 455, he wants to build it himself (and he has never done this). It was a running engine but I dont know how long it's been sitting. Looking for a few ideas for a budget build for him. I did a search and printed a couple. I can give him a Performer intake. At least he is a Chevy man converting to Pontiac! He is not looking for a "race" engine. What would be the best way to put this together on a family budget? He wanted to put it in his truck but I think I can talk him into getting an older Bird.

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.
