Re: 68 GTO Project
Definitely not the same for sure! Pretty cool though.
I took a quick look at the blocks today. The short block shows to be a 73 Y4 400 .030 overbore. The bare block that is suppose to be original to the car is a 68 400 WT block. The cylinder walls don't look very good, but would clean up with an over bore if it's not already too far. The heads are '68 heads and look to be 72-75cc. With the rebuilder pistons, I don't think it would make any compression lol. I'm hoping the crank is the one pulled from the WT block and will have the place for the pilot bearing. Not 100% sure what I'm going to do with these two, but one of them is going in haha. Might just finish putting together the Y4 and throw it in for the time being while the WT gets rebuilt with the right parts. Or have the WT machined and buy new pistons and swap everything else over. Anyhow, here's a couple of pics.
