Nice car....very green. Is that a factory green color or is it a more modern hue? Also, any plans to change out the chevy engine for a traditional pontiac?

Bascom123,
Chevy engines look completely different than a Pontiac. First indication was the color (chevy orange), but people have been know to paint Pontiac engines red. Other indicators are the intake, water pump hose locations, head dimensions, and valve cover dimensions. Finally, the shear size of the engine reflects that your engine is a small block chevy. 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.
