I have a 1979 Pontiac Transam completely Stock, with the oroginal 403. It is completely stock. When i get the money im gonna "sup" it up. Should i keep the 403 Pontiac engine, or get a 454 Chevy, Maybe a 454 Pontiac if its made or a 350. Which would be a better engine for the quarter? because i want this car to be fast.

It would be a Pontiac 455...

Any of those can be made fast, what are you looking to do?

How much $$$ do you want to spend? I voted for the Pontiac 455 because I like the idea of a Pontiac in a Pontiac. I think Edelbrock makes aluminum heads and other speed parts for the 455. I don't know how much there is available for the 403 (Olds) or if any Olds 455 parts are compatible.

Any website where i can look at the Pontiac 455 Super Duty.

There wasn't even a bare block on there? That's pretty surprising. If you can't find one on ebay there are a lot of hardcore firebird restoration websites, search for one of those that has engine parts.

The 455... They where a BOP engine. (Buick Pontiac olds). all parts should be interchangable.

the 455 isnt a BOP engine, it just has a BOP bell houseing... the old 455 is different from the pontiac 455... i dont know squat about the buik 455 but i assume its different also.
