Sure would be pretty without the lift kit and the wheels though...

I think that they do that just to spite us.

How'd they do that? 283 w/ 4bbl and 400 hp? Better than the 283 w/ FI in '57 @ 283 hp.

I don't want the truck but I want his expertise working for me. I have a 326 and maybe he can coax 500+ hp out for me.

That'd be a nice truck for three or four thousand bucks.

Horsepower costs money, I guess.

dont forget it has a stroker 389 in it, def worth the money IMO haha

"its a good engine.its been sitting for a few years.they only made this engine for 3 years." But it's a 1972 year model engine. How did they make it for three years? For $6,000 I think I'd have a talk with one of the many Pontiac engine builders around here and end up with something MUCH nicer.

I dont have that much in my 455 with forged rods, forged pistons, and other heavy duty parts and machining-close to it, but maybe next time I'll spend a few more hundred and step up to the used 400 2 bbl engine. Seems to me the Pontiac 400 was made from 1967-1978, with the engine available through 1979. I know someone who has a 1967 Pontiac Catalina with the 400 2 bbl that came in the car originally. Maybe they skipped some years for it to still be available in 1972, and only to have been made for 3 years.

I thought that they only made the '72 Pontiac engine for one year.....you know...for 1972 Pontiacs.

[PonchoV8]

Nope---three years only.
