I've got a 1978 GP for sale too. Yours is a bit nicer than mine(well, a whole lot nicer), but I can only hope you have better luck selling yours than I have mine.

I forgot about the springs. How would this cam perform without stiffer springs?

Like I said I'm not sure on the year but with a 2 barrel, I'd figure it wasn't too special from the factory. Hey...

2801 cam w/press in rocker studs

A friend of mine has a 400 in a late 70's firebird. I've only talked to him on the phone about this car since he lives about 2 states away. He never gave me the year or head casting number on the...

The more common later Olds cylinder heads are junk. They can be dealt with with a die grinder and someone who knows how to port, but the earlier heads are definitely the ones to get. What I like...

Depending on what your performance goals are, the 403 can be built to be a pretty stout engine. There's a guy on Realoldspower.com who swears by them. He has a 403 powered 1984 Hurst Olds and claims...

Those are pre-72 ratings; not the most reliable. Still, those engines are great for the street.

It appears to be mostly original. 7K3 heads tells me it should have a 400. If it's a 400, I'm also going to say model J. I think it has factory air. It has Pontiac rallys with "PMD" centercaps; not...

What's it worth?

I probably get about a gazillion ideas about what car(s) I want or want to build, but I recently saw something on the road that looks too good to pass up.

It's a 1972 Grand Prix. It appears mostly...

I think I'll steer clear of them if they don't have screw in rockers. I'll probably steer clear of them either way though. Just thought maybe they would be good for a mild build and if I could get...

The Summit 2800 is a decent cam for a 350. It's definitely an upgrade from the crummy factory cam. At roughly $100 it's an especially nice upgrade if the motor isn't going to be in the car much...

Well, I'm a little new to the Pontiac scene. I'd figure that 7M5's use screw in studs. In stock form, they should flow a little better than later heads. Is this correct?

Thinking about it, the guy...

7M5 heads

Cast Iron intake question

I have an intake that I've traced the casting number to a 1972 engine. It's a run of the mill 4bbl intake casting #485912. I've heard that some early intakes have very good flow numbers similar to or...

Cylinder head/cam questions

Hi, I've always liked Pontiac engines and now I've bought one to put perhaps in either a car I have or a car I might buy. I've never built a pontiac before and have a few questions.

First question...
