Looking for 1980-81 265 engine, parts
 

am casually looking for 265 parts- block, pistons, heads or complete engine.
head casting is #65
These engines were avail in 1980 and 1981 in Firebirds, Grand Prix, Lemans and other full size Pontiac and GM models.
thanks

are u asking for the 267 chevy engine?-1979-81-i have the crank-265 was 55 56 motor

Pontiac's 265 V8 was an economy version, based on the 301, sold from 1980 to 81.

The first 1955 Pontiac V8 was a 287 ci. "Strato Streak".

sorry- didn't know they made a baby 301-really rare!

I didn't realize that you could buy any rebuilt Pontiac V8 for $1,600.

Jack -it depends on what was done to the engine and what state u live in

My guess is that they don't really have a good 265 core engine in stock. I'm wondering if you can actually buy 265 shelf pistons. :confused:

If not, just the pistons would cost $500 or so.

But hey, there might be some sort of shelf piston/rod combo from another brand that will work.

I'm sure the OP probably knows exactly what he wants to do with a 265.

User here on PY "ladytata" parted out a Firebird with a 265, and had it on her Facebook for sale page.

Are there any forged rods that will work in a 265/301, like maybe 6" small journal sbc rods, with the right pistons. ?

"Core charge $250". That would still be under $1,900. But, yeah, who knows if they actually have a good core.
