gavin
63 lemans with 41000 miles on clock its a very staight car.I removed the 336 and replaced it with a late 400 with isky cam and ported 6x-4 heads.I hand drilled the 400 crank for the rope drive shaft useing a spacer/adapter for a jig.The bolt circle just fits on the crank (if any one wants the adapter drawing please let me know and I will try and find the drawing).The 336 flex plate is balanced to the same balance as the 400 flex plate.A 400 sump was then modified for the 63 starter as I wanted to keep the 336 together as its a real nice engine.I built tri-y headers for it and they are a real pain in the arse to fit.The gear box has had extra clutch plates and mods to shift harder.The engine bay is a bit piggy at the moment but I will clean it up when I change engines at a later date.I have found a 63 389 block that I want to stroke to 421 when I afford it (haha).Ill try and put some pictures up.

Gavin,
I was so disappointed when GM killed Pontiac and my chance to buy an ST. They were going to call it a Sport Truck here. Oh well. I'm real sure GM will bring it over as the El Camino. How do you like your Holden? Sorry to the rest of you about my side note.

I've been doing a little work on the tempest.
Going to have to modify for the radiator to fit. The rear suspensions adjusted pretty close When I get the actuale weight on the car I'll get down to the nitty gritty. Heres some more pics. GT. |

drag star yes I am happy with the ute (aussie for small pickup).The only thing that annoys me is about 3 mounths after I got it they allowed a g8 front option.To those guys who asked about the plate adapter Im redoing the drawing as I cant find the other one.I did try to put a photo up of the plate on the car but it would not go and nether did some of the others.My yougest girl said she would try and fix it for me.I think too many pixels or something like that.Thanks for your intrest as its lonely down for rope shaft owners as I seem to be the only one.

Another FYI for people building these cars,it is VERY easy to fab mounts with a 4 cyc X member to move the engine toward the pass side to get more clearance for headers.If anyone wants I can shoot pics of the mounts and the room you get around the steering shaft.Tom

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.
