Hello guys.
I'd like to share some stuff with you as I'm in the process of rebuilding my original WG 421 engine. The car is very mechanically sound and reliable, however, I wasn't happy with the overall appearance of the original engine/engine compartment and I wanted to beef up the engine a little as well. First off, I'm removing the orig, great performing, Carter 4 bbl and manifold and replacing it with a factory correct tri power. Let's face it, when you open the hood, there's nothing that screams out "Pontiac"
more than a tri power. Jon Havens from St. Louis is handling the tri power build. It's costing $2,150.00 and he comes highly recommended. .I'm using Plastic-kote 208 blue for the paint.
Jack Anderson has been a huge help during this process. Jack and I purchased our cars about a few weeks apart in Sept 2007, and I was actually interested in his car, but the owner was, let's say, a difficult sort of fellow to communicate with, so I bought mine a couple weeks later. A little after that, while looking for a bumper on PY, Jack contacted me saying he had one, so we met in south NJ to consummate the deal. I then realized he had bought the Fontaine Blue car I was interested in! As we all know, it's a small world. Personally speaking, a connection began between Jack, me and our cars.
To be continued....
I wanted to show two pics of the factory installed FORD Toploader 3 speed manual transmission that were installed in these cars.
