Default Looking for 1980-81 265 engine, parts
am casually looking for 265 parts- block, pistons, heads or complete engine.
head casting is #65
These engines were avail in 1980 and 1981 in Firebirds, Grand Prix, Lemans and other full size Pontiac and GM models.
thanks

Pontiac's 265 V8 was an economy version, based on the 301, sold from 1980 to 81.

The first 1955 Pontiac V8 was a 287 ci. "Strato Streak".

I didn't realize that you could buy any rebuilt Pontiac V8 for $1,600.

My guess is that they don't really have a good 265 core engine in stock. I'm wondering if you can actually buy 265 shelf pistons.

If not, just the pistons would cost $500 or so.

But hey, there might be some sort of shelf piston/rod combo from another brand that will work.

I'm sure the OP probably knows exactly what he wants to do with a 265.

User here on PY "ladytata" parted out a Firebird with a 265, and had it on her Facebook for sale page.

Are there any forged rods that will work in a 265/301, like maybe 6" small journal sbc rods, with the right pistons. ?

"Core charge $250". That would still be under $1,900. But, yeah, who knows if they actually have a good core.
