As I said; I am new to Pontiacs. If you would be so kind as to help me formulate a plan for an engine, I would be very grateful.
I have a stock (except for performer manifold and '74 Q-Jet) 1972 350cubic inch with 7h1 heads and dual exhaust. The transmission is a th350 that I will replace with a 200-4r and the rear gears are 2.78:1 . I will not use this car on a drag strip! Peak HP is of no major concern. Making great power from idle through 4000 rpm is more my concern.

Since this is the original block, I do not want to bore it any more than necessary to clean the block up. I would appreciate a list of parts that you would use to get this motor to around 400hp/400ft. lbs. of torque. Also retail sources for these parts would be great.

Thanks, Karl
