The Pontiac 215 has a 3.750" bore, the 230 has a 3.875" bore, both have a 3.25" stroke crankshaft. Carb, air cleaner, cam, distributor, fuel pump, oil filter, etc. are all the same as a Chevy.
You can bet that if a '64 -'65 Chevelle six-cylinder exhaust system is available, it will fit.
It's really easy to find parts for.  |
I suspected that it was Chevy based since visually it looks similar but I was suspicious after seeing Pontiac cast into the block plus the difference in displacement. That's a good tip on the exhaust and am going to research it again even though I couldn't find anything that cross-referenced the other GM intermediates. I've bid on two Hollanders on ebay so far but haven't been successful yet...........
