Hi from a newbie. I've done some creeping around the forum, and it seems like a knowledgeable crew. If I'm in the wrong forum for my question and or anticipated project, please point my in the right direction
About a year ago, I almost bought a convertible '67 le mans with a 455 in it. It was very sweet, but I pussed out. Still haven't forgiven myself, so I would like to build one on my own.
I am looking for a 67 le mans / tempest to customize. I am at the front end of this project, and don't know much about what I'm getting into, but I'm the type of guy that appreciates a project not only for the end product, but the education.
I have an OLDS 455 motor that was built up for high horse power in a jet boat. Is there any crossover genes between the Olds 455 and Pontiac? The guy that I was going to buy the Le Mans from said his Pontiac 455 bolted right in, but would I be asking for trouble to try to put the OLDS into a Pontiac? What are the differences?
Thanks in advance.
