Pontiac gto engine rebuilt 67

Hello everyone ,
Long time since i’ve been here.
I am rebuilding my gto engine at the moment .
It was rebuilt in the us when i bought it .
Had a faulty carburettor on it, then rectified that problem
Did a doughnut or some and bent a valve.
we took the heads of (670 heads), found a bent valve .
At first i was only going to do thr heads but luckily we opened it all up,
Crank was nicely reground all the same diameters, but loisy fitted pump.
Ground 40 oversize , new pistons , but one cilinder had an extreem perpendicular groove in it
So ,60 oversize it is now.
the old conrods where fitted and where bent , they rubbed against each other
And the shells where worn on opposite sides ( 2000 mls) engine.
The old cam was a comp cams dont know the number anymore
I have now opted for

A comp cams K51-222-4 and a 9 to 1 compression​

With hypereutectic pistons 17cc dish top 3.750 stroke
and eagle 4340 h beam rods.

Oh by the way, i can’t buy ARP bolts in the us anymore because of sanctions against russia.

Im glad to see you back posting!

1967 No. 670 (1967 400 & 428 large-valve--GTO, GP, FB 400)
Cast date: J156 Grade:1
(Note: valve inclination angle decreased to 14° from 20°)
Valve sizes: 2.11/1.77
Intake port volume (2 ports): 152.3 & 153 cc's
Intake(D)Flow (cfm)Exhaust(D)Flow (cfm)Exh./Int.
.10073 75.10039 43.55
.200130 129.20076 79.59
.300148 150.300100 104.68
.400155 156.400117 117.75
.500161 160.500122 124.77
.600163 161.600129 128.79

heres the cam he picked
Hydraulic Flat Tappet
Intake Duration (.050" Lift)218
Exhaust Duration (.050" Lift)224
RPM Range1300 to 5500
Lobe Separation110 °
he failed to mention the transmission, rear gear ratio or stall speed if its an automatic trans
the head gasket thickness, and a few other specs.
so I don't know if its a good match to the application
 

if its a trans similar to this link (manual 5 speed) you've made a good choice on the cam

Id just point out...
you do realize that transmissions rated at 400 ft lbs,
and even a well built pontiac 400 N/A can significantly exceed 400 ft lbs?
(as even the stock 400 had a factory rated 397 ft lbs of tq)

adding a super charger will surely ADD to the engine's potential torque
yes theres always a safety margin, built into the transmission,
and spinning the tires results in less shock loads on the transmission than a set of slicks ,

I see in the crank journals all show one rod bearing jornal shows considerably greater bearing surface wear than its matched partner , any idea why? (can you polish both bearing surfaces?)
was that journal bearing surface damage the result of running previously bent or ill fitted and clearanced connecting rods like you mentioned previously?

I hope you bought new connecting rods you've got dozens of options


cheap



better

better yet

yeah IM all too well aware this hobbys a potentially bottomless money pit!

Hello on the bearing surface you are talking about , we have a fairly big scar perpendicular the the cylinder.
And all the rods on all cylinders where rubbing like made , shell worn on two opposite sides.
Bought eagle full floating conrods and an a standard eagle cranck.
All great fun , and
 
Machined the bellhousing

Right , new pistons and
Chambers in head 74 cc ( strangely cause original 72cc)
8,9 /1 compression and I believe eve 1mm + thickness gasket.
I have my daughters fitting piston rings next week ( easter holiday)
We had the block pressure tested.
Oh and new crankshaft made by eagle
That is at the balancing firm
And new eagle rods with floating pins
The ones grumphy suggested
Bought a wire loom from lectric
Chassis has new 4 piston callipers as per original
The body and the interior is good on the car
Might use it as a daily driver
