A good idea except I have the correct block ,heads,intake and carb, so a rebuild is in order. Plus the assembly and first start up is to much fun to miss out on.

Canadian 350 or Pontiac 350 Engine?  As like said there are some differences when doing the rebuild and some engine rebuilders will do things the good ole Chevy way and while it may work on the Pontiac engines it will not perform nor work to its max. performance..

Make sure you take pictures of your parts with casting and code numbers so you get yours back.. Specially if your wanting to keep her numbers matching.

These guys built a number of Pontiac engines also get the book on how to rebuild your Pontiac engine by Rocky Rotella ...

careful picking someone on this one, i can tell you that you want the oil gallery plugs tapped and threaded behind the timing cover. i built my own and had heads up do machine work. Dan

 The oil gallery plugs in the back should be tapped also... And the hidden plug in the distributer hole should have the hole in it so it oils up the distributer gear a bit more :>)   .. Do not let them put Chevy lifters in there.. get Pontiac ones... They will tell you they are the same but they are different....
