Egge Machine doesn't show any Pontiac stuff that I can see, but give them a call or kite an email and ask. If they don't have what you need, ask them if they can refer you to someone. Lots of times, I've found stuff through networking with people....

If Egge comes up with nothing, try Hemmings Motor News in the parts section or parting out....

thanks...the rods needs to be filled and line bored with some type of special metal and the crank to match
Yeah, it's called babbitt. The old cars of the era were referred to as "babbitt pounders".....

thanks for the info...i have been on here all night searching and you sent me that link and yes, they do re-babbit the rods...thanks again
Direction??? Horace Greely's advice on direction was to go West, young man, go West!!!! As for the other, most babbitt bearing engines are splash oiling and not pressurized oiling, another consideration when working on them....
Thanks for the info.
