There is one in the junkyard with a complete motor. Either a 400 or 455 depending on what year. How do you tell by looking at the car? Is it in the VIN anywhere? Any ideas??

Joe
Can you get the hood open to see the motor? If so, look for the mountain on the top of the block, behind the intake near the distributor. If its there, its a 455. Good luck! Jeff

easy wat to tell is the headlights, 77 had turn signal seperating them and 76 they were together with signal on the outside.

I like the 400. I drove GTO's with both and the 400 was always faster than the 455, at least for 1969 and 1970. |

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.
