I'm swapping out the 61 2bbl 389 for a 73 .060 455. So I should be about 469 cubes. Here's a few pics of the progress

Here's one with the good stuff sitting on the counter. I'm going for a Super Duty look.

Here's one with the slugs and crank in. The cam degreed in perfect and didn't need an offset key. I was lapping in the valves and putting the heads together in this pic as well.

Oh yeah, how do you like my early Pontiac vise?
  Do you notice anything special in the first picture besides my boy learning to use the calipers

I was going to compliment you on that Pontiac blue bench vise, even before you mentioned it.

Stuart,
Every once in a while I get a wild hair and paint something. ScreamingChief, You got it. I used the rods out of the "61" 389. They're a little stronger than stock cast and didn't cost any extra. Since the car will be a stout cruiser I wasn't worried about using them.

I think you will hear some debate as to whether the early steel rods are acutaully any better than the later cast rods. From what I have read, if you don't have them heat treated and shot peened they are supposed to be weaker.
I did break one in a 428 I had that I was running up to 6200 rpm's through the traps drag racing it. But if you are going to keep the RPM's below say,5000 you probably won't have any problems

Thanks Jeff,
Yeah it's just going to be a strong, loud cruiser, not a drag car.

Dil - I noticed some cans of Pontiac Blue # 208 in the background. Did you buy those locally here in SoCal or did you pick them up off the net? I've been trying to find some locally and nobody seems to carry it!

Your assembling your engine in the kitchen! My wife blocks the doorway and makes me hose off out side and change cloths before entering the house after garage work

rexus,
If I were to bring any engine parts into the house I'd lose my $ex privileges Let alone put stickers on the kitchen cabinets.Inaba Auto Parts in Riverside on Mission Blvd. carries Pontiac engine colors. Between me and Nick Anderson they are constantly restocking with fresh Pontiac color.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
