Hello fellow Pontiac enthusiasts,
I just joined this forum on Sunday. Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks for all the great threads out there.
I'm currently in progress of rebuilding a '76 455 that came out of Grand Safari with less than 60k miles. I now have it down to an empty block and everything looks like it just came off the factory floor. It must have really been babied.
Well,.. it was in a wagon..
Anyway, this will eventually get dropped into my '77 TA with the original 4 speed. Weekend cruiser. No track time. Just the occasional clutch dump to help the kids understand what true torque feels like.
Since this is my first Pontiac rebuild I was hoping to get a little insight on my parts list. Please throw any red flags if you see them.
Comp Cam Lifter kit K51-230-3 Grind 260H - Hyd. flat tappets
Edelbrock 2156 Performer Intake and gaskets
Federal Mogul Rebuild kit w/ stock bore flat top forged alum. pistons

Heads will be off the original 400 the car came with. 6X-4 - Will be rebuilt by local machinist - Have not decided on porting and polishing yet.
Zoom MU series clutch - MU5505-1
Stock carb off the 455. Rebuilt and cleaned

Any input is appreciated, good or bad.
Thanks all!
