'65 Wagon Blower Question
The 389 in my wagon is getting tired. Just for giggles I thought about building a 400 I've got stashed in the garage. I would like to run a blower on the street with a mostly stock engine. Would using late heads on this get the compression to where it needs to be? This will be strictly for show. I just like the look and sound of a blower and I think it'll look good on my wagon.

If the block isnt the weak late 70's "557" casting go for it.
If it is, build the 389 instead. Either case dont use stock rods. Cost of new steel rods not much more than cost of reconditioning and upgrading bolts on stock rods. |

I believe the block is a '72.
Thanks for the info on the rods.

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.
