Re: Help me figure it out
If it is an automatic there are lots of places on the net that have the layout of the pan and you just match the drawing to your trans. If it is a manual more ino and a picture would be a big help.

Re: Help me figure it out
Fixed your pictures
Pontiac blocks can be anything from a 350 to a 455 depending on the year. MY guess is you got a 389 or 400. Far as the automatic, it is probably be be pontiac's version of the Turbo-400 Best bet is to get the numbers off the block and check them on the web and same for the tranny, or at least a photo of the tranny side and pan.

Re: Help me figure it out
On the drivers side of the block by the engine mount there is a number cast into the block ... not all of them had it .. that will be the engine size .. not all of them had it though ..also , do you have a pick of the trans pan??? You do have a pontiac though...

Re: Help me figure it out
On my Chevy block, there is an area on the passenger side head surface area that sticks out with numbers stamped in it. From that code I was able to figure out what engine I had. I was told I had a 350CI, not so, it turned out to be a 305.
Check out a site like this.. http://www.pontiacstreetperformance....p/blockID.html or http://www.teufert.net/identify/identify.htm

Re: Help me figure it out
Truck looks good. yes, you have a T400 tranny and I have always like the Pontiac motors. Looks like you got a sweet ride.

Re: Help me figure it out
Ha I do it to. if the motors turned the other way we would have 3 speeds in reverse but a hell of hole shot in first ha ha. On the old direct reversible diesels we could bring to stop and then slide the camshaft to reverse lobes and when ya started it again it would run backwards.
