Why don't you just send me a check and we'll call it a day .
-Did you redo the motor yourself or send it out? If so where? And if you don’t mind, how much?
55-60 bellhousing same, 61-64, than 65 and up.
-My engine knowledge is extremely limited, whats a bell housing? Does this mean only 55-60 engines are bolt in because your next thing about 389 being 59-66 is confusing. Does that mean that up till a 66 will drop right in?
389 59-66, but if the old trans doesn't work out, for a little more money could go with a newer 400 or 455. Or if you really wanted a stump puller how about a 500cid Cadillac .
-newer 400 or 455 is that a brand new trans or just out of a 60s-70s car? Would any newer trans mount up without too much modifications? Wouldn’t a 400/455 shoot the mileage down even more? I’d like a nice driver and not a strip car.
Or you could put in your 350 f/i engine.
My engine isn't set up for fuel economy, probaly 10mpg at best.
I don't know about lots of problems, just took awile beteween the available time I had to build the mounts.
As far as the vendors , either Pontiac Dude ,Jim Butler, Spotts performance etc. There are alot more but your better off going with at least someone that knows Pontiacs. These are machine shops that specialize in Pontiacs for street/strip or stock engines.
-I heard good things about Jim Butler. I emailed him awhile ago but he had no 389s in stock. I could always provide him with one though I think. I’m pretty sure he would have to see the engine though before giving a price. Since I’m not close to him don’t know if this would work due to shipping costs etc if I don’t want to go with him after he gives price.
