@@jeffstevens664 Thanks, I'm only in the shortblock about $1200, the entire top end can be bolted on another traditional pontiac engine with not much fuss thankfully.

@@EfurdGarage no kidding, there's more in store for this little guy!

@@mattspontiacta Thanks, that's funny!

@@Full_Garage Thanks for the kind words. The headers I'm using are custom Hedmans from a weld up kit.

@@czarza4269 Thanks!!!

@@wtdonovan Thank you very much, more to come!

@@NightWrencher 😂

@@NightWrencher nah, it's more like issues weren't caught initially, paying the price later after running it hard.

To be fair, some of the maintenance was also from driving it around the block after the trans leak. 😂

@@Dart_Chris sadly yes, basically from just using the car...

Thanks for the kind words, hoping most of the little issues are resolved. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!!!

Thanks, it's tough when you're rushing and coming across issues

@@phillipbroady1181 I'd love to run a 3.73 in it, not much more than that so I could keep it street friendly.

@@wayneskelly4297 thank you sir!

@@ericwilson2585 I just might have something similar cooking.....stay tuned!

Apparently the gm th250 was very similar to the 727, as it used 2 bands like the 727

@@1951RKP Thanks! Awesome story, I'm going to keep this thing chugging along with the 301 for now.

I would guess you were putting down around 325hp to the ground considering the info you provided which would have been pretty accurate for those 400's... They were hard to beat, extremely reliable and consistent really fast off the line and kept pulling throughout the run...

@@jamesdockery3310 heck yeah that'll wake it up!!!

@@OldsmobileSBRocket I might switch them out but I need to do some testing on them to see if I can force them to grip

@@mattspontiacta it made 287rwhp @6200 and we found that it wasn't getting full throttle so there's a bit more in it!

Not bad at all for a 301 cubic inch engine. Be nice if you can hit 301 rwhp. My 461 iron headed engine did 328 rwhp on a chassis dyno. Iron Pontiac heads are the bottle neck.

@@mattspontiacta my 461 with ported iron heads #62s, made 384rwhp on 91 octane and a roller cam. More on that motor soon.

Nice! Mine are 6x8 stock heads , 224/230 roller cam , speedway aluminum single plane intake with a Holley 770. Hedman ceramic coated headers with 3 inch exhaust. Look forward to see more on your 461. Your 301 is damn impressive to! Those engines had a bad rap years ago. I have noticed more and more popping up especially the turbo 301s. Modding them and turning decent track times to.

@@mattspontiacta, thank you!!! I appreciate it. My 461 is 10.4:1, 265/272 @ .050" solid roller with .650" lift. Planning on upgrading to Kauffman Hi-ports and a Victor manifold. I'm going to track test the 301 again, then do some more upgrades, maybe even forced induction since it's only 9:1 compression.

@@user-qi7pf7zg5z I really appreciate 🙏 the kind words!!! I need motivation myself sometimes so I'm deeply humbled that it helped you out! Wait until you see the next plans for this motor and another 301 stroker I have planned....it should be epic!

@@paulwortman483 I'm running the weakest block of them all, a 1977 regular 301 non turbo. The 1980-81 301 Turbo blocks are the stronger ones with better mains and bigger main bolts, stronger crankshafts.

@@sb18436572 Some say yes, some say no. It's technically smaller than a 326-455 deck height.

@@jasonhumphry5836 I have both of those books, I was actually thinking of doing a video on some of those ideas 💡

@PontiacRaysGarage rock on 🤘 that would be awesome many people could benefit from the knowledge of old time things for gotten or not know

It helped my engine run smoothe

@@hoost3056 Thanks for watching! This is a Pontiac 301 V8, bored .020" to 4.020" bore, 3" stroke with the factory crankshaft. I adapted forged small chevy pistons and 6.200" connecting rods to this engine. It has 9.0:1 compression, Kauffman Racing heads, custome narrowed Wenzler intake manifold, FST 850 cfm carburetor and a 248/254 roller cam with about .600" lift. Th400 trans, Ford 9" with 4.10s.

@@samuelgoodman2825 Thank you for the kind words.

@@eriklarson9137, thanks for watching!

I remember reading about a Dyno test, rwhp, on a 67 GTO RA 2, back in the day. It made 180 rwhp stock and 200 after tuning. With 400 ci.

@@JamesHolbrook-eh5sppeople forget how these old cars were rated back then it wasn’t rear wheel hp that rwhp wouldn’t have sold many cars

@@johnwingate8799 Thanks for watching!

@@raysoto1969 Thanks, and this is just the lowly "NA" crank in the weaker NA block. The Turbo block and crank are even stronger.

@@johnbouchard9447 LOL, it was meant to describe that it was only opened somewhere between 2/3 & 3/4 throttle, or 66-75% throttle.

@@midsouth2strokes185 The trick to getting aftermarket heads to fit the 301, is, nothing at all....they bolt on fine, I'm even using 301 head gaskets. The real issue is having to narrow an intake manifold to fit onto the heads because the 301 block is much narrower than a 326-455 Pontiac engine. I ended up cutting/narrowing an aftermarket aluminum intake manifold to fit. After that problem is solved, you just bolt parts to it like a regular Pontiac V8.

@@charlieschroder1579 Thanks for watching!

@@kirstenneil3536Thanks, I think 🤔 😅

@@AEtrane I reduced them to 2.120" intake and 1.700" exhaust. I also notched the cylinder bores to accommodate the valves past .600" valve lift. No issues yet, it runs hard, although I have no clean track numbers or dyno numbers to prove it, as the car has had various issues since installing the motor.

@@kennyspry5189 You know, pissed, mad at myself, but hopeful.....I almost bought the correct pistons for this, and would have torn the motor down, but 2 things stopped me. This thing is running so good, and making enough power to get me into a 7 second 1/8 mile, and, I have another, stroker 301 at the machine shop. So, I'm going to just get this down the track as fast as possible, then, switch to the stroker 301.

@@kennyspry5189 Thank you very much!!

@@CamaroKevin84 Thanks for the kind words. An LS will never, ever, ever, be placed in this car or any of my other Pontiacs. This engine is just a little R&D toy that I'm testing parts with.....wait until you see the other Pontiac V8s that'll be in between the fenders.....they'll make plenty of power.

I think you might be missing the whole point of it. Cheap and easy isn't the answer to everything.

Maybe I misunderstood the last thing u said about cheap and easy. Building my LS was not cheap and easy. I'm not buying no parts unless it comes from jegs or summit or is OEM. Maybe that crap on eBay is cheap but it's all junk. Unless it came from a reputable company. Building any motor is not cheap. Unless u want to run into problem after problem and more down the road

I would think he’s saying he wants Pontiac power for his Pontiac cars. Most serious Pontiac enthusiasts would rather push their Pontiac than power it with a Chevy.

For anyone who doesn't know General motors made Pontiac.... Same company that made GMC and Chevrolet and many more. Thanks

Same weight as a small block chevy with aluminum heads

@@analogkid4557 Absolutely 💯 Stay tuned, this thing should get much faster soon!

@@stelthy100 this one is still healthy and running pretty quick

I’d say the 265 was worse than the 301. Regardless this 301 sounds wicked. Close to 1 HP per CI at the wheels is impressive.

@@mikee2923 Thanks for the support. A 9:1, 91 octane pump gas engine making almost 1hp per cube to the tire is not too shabby I think.

@@MarlHellbringer I'm afraid it'll scatter parts. Peak power was made at 6250 so no need to go higher yet.

@@PontiacRaysGarage I'm new around here. Stock bottom end?

@@MarlHellbringer stock block, with a stock crank, using forged pistons and rods.

@PontiacRaysGarage because I'm not the one paying the bills on it, I say send it lol

@@MarlHellbringer 😆 🤣 😂

@@scottruether2500 sure is, thanks!!!
