Agreed, ALL of these engines are nothing more than 8 pistons moving up and down in 8 holes. I've done multiple builds of each type over the years, Ford FE, Windsor, Cleveland, Buick, Caddy, Olds, Pontiac, AMC, International, butt-loads of SBC and a good many BBC builds, Mopar Wedge small and big block, and to be perfectly honest not a lot of differences between all of them when you break it right down to the fundamental stuff.
What tends to throw folks off with Pontiac builds in the front cylinder being # 2 instead of #1. As is with the case right here folks pressing on pistons and inserting them in the holes get that entire deal FUBAR'd way too often than it should be happening. That's why I mentioned "close attention to detail" in my first response. Nothing difficult about any of this, but you have to have enough common sense to put things back where they came from in the proper order and orientation....duh?

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.
