[net.auto] Engine swap - Chevy small block into non-Chevy A body

dhd@hou4b.UUCP (08/23/84)

Has anyone done an engine swap, putting a Chevy small block
into one of the 68-72 GM intermediates
(Pontiac Le Mans or Buick Skylark)?

I am presently doing this swap into a Pontiac GTO.

Some interesting problems (adjustments) came up:
	Chevy starters are on the passenger side as are the
	alternators - Pontiac on the driver's side

	Chevy batteries, same thing.

	Chevy fuel pumps, same thing.

My greatest concern is the clutch linkage;
Chevy and Pontiac share many of the same pieces BUT,
the "Z" bar is different.
Does anyone know if I can just bolt up the Pontiac clutch linkage
as it is to the Chevy small block?
