A buddy called me the other day and asked if I wanted a 400 pontiac engine that had been left in a house a friend of his purchased awhile back, and the guy wanted it gone. I said sure even if it's junk I know a couple of guys that scrap out metal.  This is what he brought me.
fairly new build with hei distributor, 8.8 accell wires, moroso pan, torker II edelbrock, new heads with 1.5 roller rockers, screwin studs with guide plates. If the internals are anything like all the rest. SCORE. I asked my buddy if he was sure he didn't want it for himself after we opened up the valve covers. He said he didn't have room for it. It even came with a engine stand. I'm still grinning.    I am gonna try to fire it soon. It turns over, but it still might be a dead player.

You lucky guy! My brother and I were just talking about those motors friday night. He had a '69 Firebird with the 330hp 400 and the oil pressure kept falling at low rpm's. I had just bought a '70 Formula with the 400 and was having my Uncle building me a monster 327, so I sold him the 400 to put in his. He sold the car and never installed, sold motor laterto a fellow that had his vin code book with him. That was when we found out mine was a Ram air III, he then tried to buy my car. It out preformed the 327 I installed for sure. I was sick over that.

Good for you! I'm just glad the guy didn't  roll it out into the yard to clear the space and let it spend a few winters out there. Those are the ones people give me.
