I debated it a bit but decided it'd be cooler to keep a Pontiac engine in this one. I've got EFI for my 67 and a t56. I'm going to take it apart for body work this winter but when it's back together it'll have the EFI and 6 speed with the 455 that's in it until I can build a nice stroker with aluminum heads.

He..He.. Hope not, but I think i must redo some stuff here and there, probably more than I think.... I already seen plenty of stuff..
It just looks more right With the right engine, it can look good With LS also, especially With an carbed intake. But the soul of the car is missing.
And since I wrench on New cars (VW) for a living, I am sick and tired of wires, can-bus and ECU`s... He..He..
Is it port runner EFI? Could you not convince yourself that the 455 already is a "stroker"? So you dont need that 400 build?
Besides the mains, is it REALLY that much difference? Depends maybe somewhat on type of usage, HP Level and RPM maybe. But for "average" use? Maybe a bigger oil cooler is all that is the needed difference, beacause of the bearing speed? Just thinking out loud here.
It would be Nice to see the oil temp difference on same type of oil with different bearing sizes. I know how much difference just the oil type in same engine does by own experience, and that is A LOT.
