Robbed right out of this book http://www.amazon.com/Engine-Swapping-Tips-Techniques-Series/dp/1855200171
Not sure why they list Pontiac 350/400 and 455s different. They are the same. Yes there is a flaw in their info from my first glance.
It's a really good vintage car book & entertaining to read. There's some funny commentary about "new" style electronic ignition & early smog control. It also gives you all the Italian ge****t p/n's to convert your muncie to an M-22 Here's another vintage swap book - Chevy only http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-m...m_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0&isremote=0
The list seems to be incomplete, and inaccurate. Where are the 287-389 Pontiacs? The Cadillac starters 331-390 are on the right, the Olds 303-394 are on the left!
Here's a small list a differences (weights, brgs sizes) - near the bottom http://www.442.com/oldsfaq/ofeng.htm#ENG 1964 - 1990 Similarities Other GM Engines
I agree, many of the figures shown are inconsistent with other pubished data on this subject. Nonetheless, I ordered a copy just for whatever entertainment value and possible useful info it may contain. I have several similar books from as far back as the 60's........I'm just a 'junkie' for this kind of thing Ray
Pontiacs are the exact same outer dimensions whether it being a early, late block 287-455. All the same . Boy do they have weird sizes? Like I said on the 5th post. I wouldn't trust anything in this book as fact as the auther obviously didn't look up anything as simple as these engines.
