Pontiac Chevy PU motor switchIf you try hard enough. Depends on what transmission is in the truck. Some had duel bolt pattern where the motor and trans. bolt together. Chevy has a different pattern than all othe GM's All other GM's interchange except for Chevy. Chevy, all motors, rear wheel drive will interchange, 1955 to at least mid 90's probably current.

Is 1969 Pontiac 400 water pump compatible with 1967 Pontiac 400?

yes


How do you tell the difference between a Chevy 400 and a Pontiac 400?

Many ways. Pontiac 400 has a cast aluminum timing cover, that mounts the water pump directly on it, Chevy 400 has a stamped steel timing cover, water pump mounts to the block. Pontic 400 has fuel pump on the drivers side, Chevy is on passenger side. Pontiac has a separate valley cover below the intake manifold, Chevy intake IS the valley cover. Pontiac distributor does not go through the intake manifold, Chevy does. Pontiac has 10 head bolts per side, Chevy has 17. Pontiac has long exhaust ports that bend 90 degrees from the side of the cylinder head, Chevy exhaust ports end at the face of the cylinder head. Pontiac spark plugs are above the exhaust manifolds, Chevy is below. Pontiac 400 is physically larger than the small block Chevy 400 also.

Does a Pontiac super turbo 400 trany have a Chevy bolt holes?

No...it will have the bolt pattern of the Pontiac, Cadillac, Olds and Buick. Chevy has a different bolt pattern. There are some transmissions that do have the dual bolt pattern, but I don't think the TH 400 was one of them.


Can you install a Pontiac 400 into your 1981 Chevy Elcamino?

Yes, many have swapped them into Grand Prix's and Lemans' of the same year. You will need the motor mounts for the Pontiac V8, and the transmission must match the Pontiac bellhousing (it is not the same as the Chevy pattern). Other minor issues may creep up such as throttle linkage, wiring (starter is on the opposite side), exhaust (I believe the Pontiac manifolds will clear the frame), but the are not insurmountable.
