Q: Would the pontiac GTO 1967 motor fit on my transmisson i have?
My car is a Buick Lesabre 1968 and it has the original transmission.....and i am putting a GTO 1967 engine in there....V8 6.6L 400 would it fit....they told me it would but im not sure.....

A: The bolt pattern to attach it to the motor should be the same, but it sounds like you might have some trouble with the starter.

Q: Whats the best Part or parts i can buy for $500? For my 1967 Pontiac GTO? For more power?
I was planning on the Force flow 4x turbo but i want your answers first!

A: Have you switched to synthetic blinker fluid? This is a very silly place to ask 67 GTO technical questions. The internets has forums that specialize in 60's GTO's, or more broadly, 60's Pontiacs, where people would be talking about this all the time.

Q: does anybody know anybody that has 1967 pontiac gto parts of parts car that they want to get rid of?
i am restoing one and need parts and i will even buy a hole car as long as there are good parts on it.

A: I got a parts car that i am selling. and other parts. email me if you are interested

Q: What diference would it make on putting this force-flow 4x turbo on my 1967 GTO Pontiac 400 ho engine?
This is the turbo http://www.force-flow.com/default.aspx Would i need to make for changes to my car?

A: perhaps some hp at the crank, but quite frankly nothing that will be noticeable at any range at the wheels(get - go or mid range cruising). great engine , but quite frankly to add power will take a lot of $$..... this solid block responds well to the following: -headers http://www.butlerperformance.com/products/headers/dougs_headers.html -performance exhaust....others available http://pypesexhaust.com/gallery21.html -performance heads (edelbrock may be best) http://www.highperformancepontiac.com/tech/hppp_0811_1967_pontiac_gto_400_engine_build/photo_10.html and preferably installation of stroker kit (forged internals/performance rings), race cam and a re tune of your carb. this tech article will more clearly define where you can go with your engine....but i guarantee you will get zip all from the ram air intake: http://www.highperformancepontiac.com/tech/hppp_0811_1967_pontiac_gto_400_engine_build/index.html

Q: What would be better An MSD box or a MSD distribuidor for more power? 1967 GTO PONTIAC!!?
Hi.... My car has stock ignition..... i mean i have Msd plug wires and an MSD Blaster 2 coil....so the distribuidor is stock.....i was wondering if whats better...... An msd 6200 or a lill newer or a good distribuidor!

A: Well, your distributor can't be the stock breaker point style and really be able use or benefit from that coil (too much juice for the points and must add extra ballast resistors). An upgrade to a H.E.I. type distributor has probably been installed at some time in the past. Keep in mind that no coil, box, or distributor is going to add Horsepower or Torque...they can't, it is impossible. The 1967 GTO with the 400 cu. in. / 335 HP engine, # 670 heads (72 cc chambers, 2.11/1.77 valves), the 9786286 intake manifold and the 9779066 cam was a masterpiece of Pontiac engineering. I would highly recommend Jim Hands book "How to Build Max Performance Pontiac V-8s" to you. It is the Holy Bible of Pontiac Muscle Car enthusiasts and owners. There you will find track tested and proven advice, tips and techniques. Much better than listening to suggestions from somebody that wouldn't know a '67 GTO if it ran them over in the street.

Q: What valve springs would fit on my Pontiac Gto 1967 V8 400/6.6L Big Block V8?
Hey....i have a 1967 Pontiac Gto 6.6L/400 V8 Big block....so i took the heads off the engine...now im shaving the heads......but they told me since its not stock it would be good changing the valve springs......can anybody tell me witch one would fit? And is it delicated if its exact year and all or do any valve springs from a V8 fit? Please answer.......need to know for tomorow

A: You know Pontiac engines are not small blocks or big blocks, right?

Q: 1967 Pontiac GTO?
On the 1967 pontiac GTO do the doors open by pushing a button near the back window like it did in the movie XXX starring vin diesel or was it just custom made for the movie.

A: The xXx car is actually a GTO "clone". The '67 GTO didn't come with anything like what you saw in the movie, however it was fairly common to mod them to operate similarly at the time. I have a '69 GTO Judge that I considered doing it with for a while, but ultimately decided against.

Q: 1967 Pontiac GTO Engine Locked?
I was driving my 1967 GTO home. It has a 400 cu. in engine with a 4 speed. I pulled into the drive way and shut it off. Two hours later I went to place it in the garage and the engine will not turn over. The starter tested great, the battery tested great. I grabbed the harmonic balancer by hand and tried to turn the crank, but had no luck...What do you think it could be?...the engine has only 45k miles on it.. During the course of searching the problem I did remove the plugs and dropped a stethiscope light down each cylinder, no water no oil. I then removed the drive line to test the tranny. It seemed OK, without removing it. I then got out my Flywheel tool, removed the inspection plate, and proceeded to turn the flywheel...Yikes! no luck there. That means the issue is in the engine. Well, after pulling the Engine and removing the oil pan, I found that the shaft from the distributer to the oil pump had jumped out and wedged itself between the throw of the crank and the engine block. The shaft was bent real good. I found the nylon sleeve in the oil pan. In all my years building and restoring cars, I have never seen this one before.....Engine ran great for 45k and never a problem......gee wizzz Thanx everyone for your input......Capt Ron

A: Thats a hi compression motor. Remove the spark plugs then try turning it over by hand. If that dont work drop the pan and see whats causing it, or if it has a solenoid try bypassing it. Not sure how u tested the starter.

Q: What diference would it make if i would shave my Pontiac GTO 1967 Heads?I cant afford new heads!?
Well i cant afford new heads so they told me that i should shave the heads...that made some diference....i have a garage near bythey say they have done it and its good!! But i want you to tell me if its a big difference....

A: when you shave the heads, you decrease the size of the combustion chamber, increasing the compression ratio. because of the year, you are smog exempt. you should feel a difference off the line. i am curious which engine you have. i have a '68 with an ho 400.

Q: What diference would it make if i would shave my Pontiac GTO 1967 Heads? I cant afford new ones!?
Well i cant afford new heads so they told me that i should shave the heads...that made some diference....i have a garage near bythey say they have done it and its good!! But i want you to tell me if its a big difference....

A: I zero-decked my block, but I made a whole list of modifications during my rebuild, so I can't single out results from just that. Have you thought about zero-decking your block?

Q: 1967 pontiac gto project car?
im looking for a project gto not a total rebuild from ground up.i want one that has minor to medium rust on body,engine that runs but needs work and the interior can be torn to shreds.

A: That's nice...it would be a good project car, but what are you asking? If you need to find one, go on Ebay or similar sites.

Q: Putting this MSD box in my 1967 Pontiac GTO would give great results?
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MSD%2D6421&N=700+115&autoview=sku is it for better power?

A: Yea, but you could go with the 6200 and save some money. I had a CDI I added onto my Plymouth Scamp back in the 70's, and I used a few more after that on some Volvos. It will give you a hotter spark, and you don't need to replace the points if you don't want to. What ends up wearing out on the points is the piece that runs on the cam. The voltage/amperage going across the points is almost nothing, so they never wear.
