What kind of Pontiac do you have?

I have a 67 Firebird. I stopped by AC and talked to him about rebuilding a 69 Pontiac block that I have. He had a couple of fully rebuilt al LS long blocks sitting on stands, and said for the same money of rebuilding the Pontiac, I can have one of those. I was restoring the Firebird back to stock, and wanted old school motor. A month ago, I sold the Pontiac motor and began an LS swap. Should have gone LS with AC back then, and could have saved me boat load of $$$.
