Take a look at the attached picture of my engine compared to yours....you should be able to notice several differences even though my picture is not from the best of angles.

FYI, not a huge deal having the Chevy engine in your car. They can run very well, but they are garlic to a vampire for the diehard Pontiac nut. Very nice car though, and the restoration looks like is was very well done.
UG, i was told it was a sb 400 it does not look look like other chevy sb350's i have had in the past.

if it is a chevy can you tell if it is a 400 vs a 350?
