In fact, in older Pontiacs it is a bolt-in procedure, although the tranny bell housing will not mate to a chev block. Purists: don't ask me how I know this or I would have to tell you about how I installed a 327/300 in my 67 Goat. It was a temporary measure until I got my Pontiac 455 built. Yes, I know.... they came with a 400. That was the point. "Sure, it's a 400. Still wanna run me?"

It's a bit of topic but I always figured that the Pontiac 455 was a bit of a slug since it's a stroker and most were smogged out. I heard the 400 is good choice, a bored out 389 basically, not too hard to find either since they were used in a lot of land barges like the Catalinas and Bonnevilles. I thought you had to change the location of the engine mounts to fit a chebby engine in a Pontiac?
