  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Looking for some poncho help from members. I am looking for an engine block for a 1969 Pontiac Custom S convertible. Trying to make the car more correct and get rid of the 72 catalina 350 thats in it now. The motor the car wouldve come with i believe was a high output 350 2bbl. But i am looking for the block from another 69 custom s, with the matching crank and heads so it can be rebuilt. Any help trying locate a somewhat rare block would be greatly appreciated

    This breaks my heart. I have a '69 Custom S 4-door hardtop that I'm using for a parts car and it had a 350-2 backed by a TH400 (I was shocked that it came with a Th400). Anyway, I couldn't find anyone interested in the engine so I used the oil pan and valley pan and the rest of the engine was discarded. I knew I should have kept it. Sorry.

    Its all good! Im thrilled that someone else has one on the board! Every year at the pontiac nationals out of 1,000+ cars we have been the only custom s convertible on the grounds. Only one year was there a hardtop, but thats been it
