forget the 301. parts are to expensive in comparison to the 400. same with the 455, getting harder to find and parts are more expensive. you get the best bang for your buck out of a 400 Pontiac. You can find them at junkyards as well online from different sources as well as ebay. cause all Pontiac engines will fit into your engine bay without any mods. just get the correct engine mounts. depending on the transmission you are using you might have to get a new crossmember for the tranny. 400 pontiacs usually had a TH400 behind them, you can also use a TH350 but it might wear out faster.
