" Pontiac common blocks: 326, 350, 389, 400, 421, 428, 455 
" (301 is the only oddball and universally viewed as a boat anchor)

true of olds too: 330, 350, 403 low deck; 400, 425, 455 high deck.
pin size and height is the same for all but 455s, so theoretically if
the cylinders were thick enough you could overbore a 425 for 403 slugs
and get a 475 without even going oversize.

after seeing a cute '63 skylark at a car show last time i visited my
aunt and uncle i've been thinking...  graft '65-9 corvair full irs
[might be just a clever sheetmetal surgery], swap in injected rover
4.4 for original 215, back it with t5...
