brian for motor work on a Pontiac I recommend you talk to Joe at Maximum Race Engines, he does all motors but he really knows Pontiacs and hes very fair on his prices. I got a stroked pump gas Pontiac 400 built for juice from him for a 68 GTO I'm dong for my brother, and i have sent a lot of my friends to him, never an issue. he can hook you up with a good tranny guy too. If you call him tell him Albert sent you, he will take good care of you, his #'s are 888-470-7223 and 516-644-2771
