FYI,ALL 64 tempests(GTOs) got block mounted starters!ALL!Big cars got the bellhousing mounted starters so I guess you shoot craps on a big car block.EVERYONE I have ever owned had the pad and was drilled for the block mounted starter.Tom

Somewhere in the production of 1964 big cars, Pontiac switched to the turbo 400. Probably when they ran out of blocks without starter bolt pads

The big cars switched over to the TB400 in August which is when production starts for the next year.

I ended up buying a 389 from the junk yard for $500 that turned out to have a rod knock. Then I switched it all over to a newer drive train because it was getting old messing with it. |

Being "rebuild" immediately raises an eyebrow. Why is it for sale?
With no exceptions every single time I got involved with a "rebuilt" engine I wished later on that I would have just put that money toward doing one myself. I got "singed" a couple of times early in my learning curve, the last time was buying a complete "rebuilt" 1969 428 engine off a guy who told me the car got totaled and the engine removed. I bought it, paid $900 for it, had been looking for a 428 for years to replace the 400 in the Ventura (late 1980's) and three weeks later it was back out on the engine stand and I was building my own 428 to replace it. I was able to salvage the block, one head was cracked (overheated), the crank thrust was ate up, and enough metal pumped thru the rest of it I tossed most of it in the scrap pile......Cliff

Without documentation and photos of the rebuild, I'd pay max $500.

The Slim Jim (Roto Hydro) was used on all the short wheelbase 61-64 Pontiacs ( Catalina, Ventura, & GP) from what I know. The Super Hydro (or whatever you want to call it) was used on the Bonneville & Star Chief. Seems simple enough to me. I don't understand why people get all would up about the "name" for the Super Hydro. Seems some need to loosen their shorts some.

I don't think anyone is getting overly wound up. Man those transmissions are golden oldies.
My good Pontiac friend went with me when I went to look at a 64 Bonneville ( that I did buy). I didn't exactly remember the model of the car. He was relieved when we pulled up, and saw Bonneville on it. He told me it had the better trans in it...

I'm interested in BUYING it. It has starter holes in block as has every 1964 Pontiac I've ever seen. Sorry "LATECH" in the 55 years since 1964 I've never seen a 1964 engine that didn't have the holes. I've been working on Pontiacs for almost 60 years.

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.
