A 427 would make more sense to me but anything will fit as Ive seen 392 HEMI in them.And those are huge motors.

Jack, I remember reading that one! I think it was called Bird with a Salty Tail.
(Funny, I can't remember what she wanted me to do today but I can remember that). |

That was Don Francisco who put a Pontiac engine in his early Thunderbird. The engine buildup was covered in the January 1963 issue in an article titled, "Pontiac to Perfection", and the installation was covered in the February 1963 in an issue titled "New Thunder for an Old Bird."
He used a '60 block so he could bolt it up to a B&M Hydro-Stick transmission, although he apparently used a newer crank as he had to do some machining to the flywheel to fit the later crank. Now that I think about it, this may be a good set of articles to scan for Steve Barcak's thread on parts interchangeability. |

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.
