Default would i be cracked out to put a 400 into a running 62 lesabre?

good running buick nailhead 401. just stock grocery getter. crappy "one" speed auto. not a BOP and i don't have an automatic, but they aren't that much i guess. would need all new exhaust and fab mounts up. sure would smoke'm tho. just talking out my ass as usual.

When a cat is dropped it always lands on its feet. When buttered toast is dropped it always lands with the buttered side facing down. If a piece of buttered toast was attached to the back of a cat, when dropped, the cat/buttered toast combination should hover, spinning just above the ground, as it tries unsuccessfully to resolve the inevitable conflict of non-scientific certainties.

Dont see a huge advantage with a pontiac engine over a good running nail head with both in near stock form.

THIS^^^ nothing wrong with a nailhead, you should think about changing the tranny and let the motor alone.

boy if it were only that easy. yes the trans is the worst part ever. it is not BOP. only a nailhead specific trans will work w/o expensive adapter. only 65-66 trans are desireable too. i'll have fun finding one. i'm still just looking for stinkin wheels with a 3.5 inch center hole!

Early GM 1/2 tons had that center hole - but 6 lug...

It may be easier to get a full size 71-96 rim (or 5 lug truck) and open up the pilot hole: 3.06"Ø to 3.48"Ø in a lathe or mill.

PS - or simply turn down the axle pilot and drum hub to 3.06"Ø.
