When I got the car it had a small block 350 in it. Obviously not the original motor.
I wanted to get back to all pontiac. And yes they are R.A.R.E. factory headers.
The physical engine dimension is not the problem. The blocks in reference to the motor mounts changed at some point. Thinking 1970 ish and nether the 64 or 75 style mounts would work. 64 would not bolt to block. 75 made engine sit to high can't close hood.
so I made some mount brackets to work with mounts.
The headers fit real tight between starter and steering box, a little to tight to turn left much.
Thanks
Pat
