almost 24 years in the making. My engine is finally done
I joined the board back in 4/2003 and my first post was asking what heads to use on my engine build. Well life and other toys got in the way and the engine was put on the back burner. In may I finally brought the block to shop and told them to put it together and yesterday I got the call that it was finally done. It's a 1971 400 that I bought off ebay as a non runner and no idea what it was originally in.
So now it'll be going in my 67 Firebird. We stepped it up to a 461 running Edelbrock heads and Victor intake, comp cam, SCAT rotating assembly, roller rockers and lifters on pump gas putting out 561 hp and 611 lbs of torque. https://youtu.be/BVjqcRvOyI4

The Victor intake will not fit under your stock hood unless you don't run an air cleaner. You will need to get a cowl hood or some type of scoop.

Took longer because you paused the build, life happens. Nice engine indeed and you should be proud. Sounds killer too.
What pistons? |

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.
