I am about to remove a 1978 305 chevy (170hptruck motor yech !) w/300 trans from my 67 bird and install a 400pontiac 425hp w/th400 transmission. I am wondering if there are going to be any nasty suprises on the engine mounts or transmission crossmember. the rear appears to be a stock 10 bolt posi and i have a short shaft 400 xmission. please advise

I just did this switch. You will need Pontiac motor mounts and mount brackets(any 67-69 F-bird motor mount brackets will work), a TH400 crossmember (found on e-bay for about $50), TH400 driveshaft slip yoke, and have the driveshaft shortened about 1/2-3/4 if an inch.

69 Firebird, FINALLY installed the Pontiac 469.
01 Red and pewter GMC Ext Cab SIERRA SLT 4x4
02 Maple Red (maroon) LS1 Trans Am

About Us

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.
