    I'm in the process of rebuilding a Pontiac 400 out of a 1967 GTO. Sorry to say that one of the cylinders in the block has a pretty good grove cut in it caused by a loose pin. Does anyone know just what the max bore can be done to a Pontiac 400 motor? It's standard bore at this time but looks...

The "lateral chain transmission housing" calls for oil "Esso Cyclesso 1000, Mobil Extra Hecla, Shell Macoma R 1000, or agip Blasia P 1000".

    I have a couple older model Chevy pickups with the 350 V8 motor. Have always used AC-PF35 oil filters which were available most everywhere.
