SAVED From LS Swap! Putting This Classic Pontiac Back On The Road!

Pole Barn Garage

I bought this 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix from someone who had intended to do the ever-boring LS swap. As usual, this resulted in the car being torn into pieces and never completed. We rectify the situation, by installing a mystery Pontiac 400 and th400. Will our gamble pay off?

I always dig how car guys laugh at the last guy's hackery then proceed to do their own hackery...😂😂😂

You two together are an absolute gem, love that you decided to adopt.

My absolute favorite PBG moment to date:

You in the denial stage while watching a video of yourself was so real.

Good thing you installed a lift in your new garage. Imagine doing all that work in the floor!!!! 😅😅😅😅😅

Dalton we never assumed you couldn't, we always assume you chose not to😂

Thank the Pontiac gods you saved it from an LS swap. Not everything needs an LS. Def needs a Pontiac in it

Instead of EXTREME OIL CHANGE, we got the refined, posh , sophisticated oil change. Bravo ole Chap ! * golf clap *

Its nice having Hater's Garage and this as contrasting looks at Car Culture. I'm glad Daltons here to show us how to get around carburetors, but at the same time I'm also glad there's people tuning ECUs with shitty laptops to similar results. I don't think it needs to be one or the other.

If I wanted to drive a Pontiac with a Chevy engine, I’d move to Canada and start drinking LeBlatt in a Parisienne lol

I loved the Extreme Oil Change. This new and very special segment on PBG has truly unlimited potential. I can easily visualize Extreme rear-end lubrication maintenance, Extreme windshield wiper replacement, Extreme radiator flush, Extreme transmission service, Extreme headlight replacement, etc, etc. My, what excellent enjoyment!

My subscription feed is perfectly balanced, Haters Garage for carburetor and points slander and Dalton for EFI and electronic ignition slander

Someone needs give JD a raise, and I don’t mean him standing on a jack while someone pumps it up.

So dalton does a Pepperbox only episode that is 50 mins and a new episode that is 2 hrs. The amount of care for the car shows in the episode run time 😂

I just finished throwing a thermostat in a 3.4 GM and spent half that time saying.. "special" things about the GM engineers who put it behind the exhaust crossover. This video is a nice change of pace and should reinstate my love for cars haha

That shift linkage is the best example of why I feel like this channel is one of the best hobby channels on YouTube. It's the way that I try to approach my projects and I admire the heck out of Dalton for his eye and engineering prowess. He could have ordered some universal kit and waited after having spent 4 times the money but instead he found a way to adapt and overcome. It just occurred to me that he could seriously create a universal kit out of the parts he used and sell it!
