454 in a 69 bird
Is putting a 454 worth putting in a 69 firebird?

I have WZ400 4sp car,but the 400 is gone. It now has a pontiac 350 from a 68 bird. I was only wondering if it was doable because I seen a 454 for $200.00 on CL

Anything is doable, whether it should be is another story entirely.
If it's a real 454 it's probably a beat up truck motor and not worth the time & effort involved. I bet you could find another Pontiac motor that would be cheap enough and far easier to get in there.

True. After I thought about the 454. I decided its not worth it to go to all that trouble.

the previous owner of my 68 put a 454 in there, and he hacked up the subframe and the firewall due to fitment issues (Im assuming)
Its definitely doable, but it would be a PAIN unless you find a Camaro that has rear end damage and can take the subframe

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.
