Even the items that could wear out and would need replacement can indicate the difference between a restoration and a OEM original.

Cons 455 Four Bolt Main

  • This is GREAT!! I could not ask for an Idiot to prove his color any better way than that. Pontiac put Cast Iron Four Bolt Main Caps on all their motors. Why? Perhaps they did not need them also? Nah, they too were smarter than the idiots that say ...

  • The next comment I hear is this. You only need these on Strip Motors. Great, then build yourself a piece of shit. Go ahead, take your fast food job money and save it instead of building a good motor. Perhaps you can save enough to purchase a casket ...

  • Kinda a pain in the ass but I do not need somebody from the other side of the world coming over here to kick my ass. I just could not live with myself. I have a big ass and he might have a heart attack in the process if that were to happen.
