Looking for a Pontiac 301

[Tuffregal83]

I can check to see if my buddy still has his 301 out of 79 Bonneville just pm me

Don’t put anymore money or time into a 301. For an “economy” V8 they weren’t even that reliable. You get 0% return on anything you put into it.

Interested in a 75 400? I have to see if he sold it yet.

Possibly, do you know if it would have to be gone through and worked?

Are looking to get rid of the whole car?

Where are you located? Have a 78 grand prix with a running 301

A good running 301 is a direct swap-in. Problem solved. And it is plenty of motor for a G-body without going bonkers. Ironically, TURNA offered me a complete 301 and transmission not long ago. Maybe if he can still be PM'd he'd be glad to get rid if it.

PM sent. Motor is in Cockeysville.

Keep looking. 455 & 2004r dropped right in to our 80 Grand Am...301's are boat anchors.

ditto on just upgrading. it will cost the same, more parts availability, and by default you'll make more power.

And if you need to pass an inspection, most people wouldn't even know the difference between a 301 or a 455.

You guys are assuming the OP has the tools and the talent to perform an engine swap/upgrade. He may just need to get it running as cheaply as possible.
