    Looking for a Pontiac 301

    Thanks for everyone's insight and feedback thus far. I'm in the Maryland area and called around to a couple of local junk yards and came up with no 350 or 400 Pontiac blocks thus far. Most of the salvage yards around in my area just don't have the older body vehicles from back in the day.

    Declining interest in gbodys discussion

    I grew up in the 70's and 80's and have always loved these G-Body vehicles. I have begun a collection of a few over the years and try to keep them as original as possible. This includes not changing the engine, transmission and even the radio. I did have thoughts of engine mods since a lot of...

    My fairly complete 3.8 to SBC 350 swap parts list!

    Team G-Body is there any easier way of doing this swap. I made a bad decision a year ago to find a junk yard 3.8 Buick motor and slapped it back in my 85 Cutlass. Of course as I was told I regret it. Since then I have has challenges from carburetor needing to be replaced to the engine...

    LET'S SEE SOME GRAND PRIXS!!!!!!!!!

    This is my 1978 Grand Prix LJ that I had for about 14 years. It is all original, has the original 301 that I had rebuild about six years ago with original transmission in it. Only thing I did different was put a air cleaner on it and run duals out the rear behind the tires.

    Buick 350 or Chevy 350

    Hello fellow GBody Forum Colleagues, Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to do some research to see if I can find a 350, 403 or even a 455 Olds. If nothing works in my favor in that direction Ill go in the direction of a "Heat beat" in my Olds Cutlass. Thanks, Oldie85
