Welcome to PY probably the best Pontiac forum anywhere, I have a project I'm working on myself that involves a fairly clean 86 GP, a stock car chassis, and a 455 Pontiac engine. See the particulars in my signature.....

Thanks everybody! I'm really looking forward to driving my first Pontiac since the '64 Parisienne I had in the 70s. 283 Powerglide, 4 door hardtop, loved that car. I had a few Chevys, one Dodge, NEVER a Ford. When my kids came along I turned to Toyotas for the economy and reliability aspects, and actually hot-rodded my last one, an '83 Celica with a 22RTE turbo motor swap that ran a 13.94 last year.
The plan for the GP is to get back to the American muscle, with the modern engine, beefed up drivetrain, and eventually using what I learned from the Celi to turbocharge this one too. Quote:

I look forward to meeting some of the local guys, the guy that's getting my 305 is a nice fellow. I find most car guys are...... My goal from the start with this project was to go with the new smallblock in the cleanest G-body I could find. When I go to the track Friday nights and see boosted LS cars running 9s, well I just wanted in on that action, even a little.

Welcome aboard.
For your swap, you may want to check out b-man's thread about his LS3 swap into his 64 Tempest. Gobs of pics and info, but get your coffee and prepare for a long, long read. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=576137

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.
