Hello everybody.Nice group. I am here mostly for my bosses car. We are getting the 400 bored and milled, and a stroker kit. Suspension is gone through, OEM quality or close though (Wasn't planning on the stroker at that time. Be prepared for the questions.
Still getting this attachment limit, worked out.

what kind of car is it?
10-21-2017
got to be a early 70's or older grand prix. cause that 400 ended in the 70's. and look at all the room, miss the old days.

Thats the 72 GP from his other post. I have one in the back yard and a 1969 parked out front. The engine compartment is the stuff of dreams on both, but more so on the 69 because there's no header panel in the way. I prefer to climb in rather than reach much.
Welcome aboard old school noob, I'll help if I can but am mostly a bodyman. Daily drove Pontiac 400s for a long time though and got familiar along the way. Which heads and cam are on this stroker build?

Sorry 72 Grand Prix. 400. The transmission cross member was the wrong length, too.

Sorry don't know the numbers. Comp cam. 70cc Edelbrock heads, forged eagle rotating assembly, and pistons. My bosses car, my friends is the builder. He's built a lot of race engines.
Finding a gas tank, for this specific year, is difficult.
Thanks for the welcome, lots of room, for sure.

Yeah I looked for a minute. Those gas tanks are hard to find. Maybe a '70,'71 is the same tank with a different filler tube. They look the same in pictures. It might be just different venting on the tanks, but an earlier year or 2 might use the same straps.. ya know. Emissions were kicking in bout then. I think I'm not sure. I was 4 at the time.
... our lady of blessed exceleration, don't fail me now ...

Not the first time I heard tanks are hard to find. Mine has the original and the '69 has a crappy one from the Parts Place. So are they just hard to find or not available? If the trans xmember is short its probably for a later year.

brandonhall10 here got some coating for the inside of the gas tank, looked pretty solid to me.

Por 15 is a great tank sealer.
I was told that 72 might have been a strike year, sometimes that affects things.
