Hello people... about a two monthes ago I purchased a 1979 Chevy( i know... I know...) short box. The good part is that I what is under the hood... which is a 1977 Pontiac 400 from a trans am.... Well so far I have blown a head gasket.. had to replace the waterpump and alternator... and a host of small things.... It has a decent size cam and high compression pistons, elderbrock preformer intake and a 700cfm carb, plus headers and duel 2.5'' flowmaster exhaust.... The bad part is she has been down the last week and is in need of work.... I have many questions because this is the first car that I have tried to work on myself and it seems like the more that I try to fix things the more that stuff goes wrong... but I heard that is how it goes when you are learning. I will have some pics up in the near future and would love to reciecve any advice or thoughts from other people that know about this engine... Thanks for you time..
