I HAVE RECENTLY REBUILT A 455 FOR MY 85 CHEVY TRUCK, I WANT TO RUN AT LEAST A 3" DUAL EXHAUST SET UP. THE ONLY WAY THAT I SEE THIS BEING USEFUL IS TO RUN HEADERS. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT YEAR/APPLICATION OF HEADER WILL FIT IN THE TRUCK? I WAS HOPING TO RUN A 4 TUBE HEADER WITH AT LEAST 1 3/4" PRIMARIES, BUT AT THIS POINT I CAN'T BE PICKY.
I'VE BEEN TOLD TO USE BOTH MOUNTS(engine mounts and frame mounts) FROM A 79 A-BODY. I HAVE YET TO INSTALL THE ENGINE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PLUMING IT WILL BE EXHALING FROM.CAN ANY BODY CONFIRM THESE MOUNTS? THE TRUCK HAS A TURBO 400 TRANNY AND IT IS A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICEATED. AS FAR AS BOLTING UP THE CHEVY TRANNY TO THE PONTIAC, TCI MAKES AN ADAPTER PLATE ($55). ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED. |

I put a 455 in my 79 Blazer. I used headers for a 68-72 GTO application. Worked good.

THE LAST ONE I DID I USED THE MOUNTS / STANDS FROM A 74 - 76 MID SIZED CAR.
THE ADAPTER PLATE WILL BE YOUR BEST BET UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE TRANS CASE TO A B.O.P. UNIT. ON THE HEADERS I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT WE USED, IT COULD'VE BEEN GTO UNITS. MIKE

Too bad you all live so far away from me. There's a junkyard here in SW PA that has a 70's GM pickup with a Pontiac 350 or 400 in it. It looks to have stock exhaust manifolds. Can't remember if it's a 2WD or a 4WD pickup though. Mike

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.
