NEW* 1972 Pontiac LeMans

[Wacker7977]

I have a 1972 Pontiac LeMans 2 door post which I am building a 468 stroker for. The current build sheet is ported KRE aluminum D-port heads, a currie 9" rear with 3.50 gears, rebuild the TH-400 and add a gear vendors overdrive. Then after that comes the suspension, just looking for a mild pro-touring suspension. Something to help keep the car planted to the ground and help put the power to the ground when needed.

Body: The paint is an old black with red metal flake. It turns out well in pictures but is a 15 footer. Not much wrong with the body overall just a little alignment of the bumpers would fix most of it.

Engine: 468 Stroker Fully Forged Bottom end Going with a Comp XR288HR grind 87 CC heads March serpentine belt conversion No A/C Power Steering Edelbrock intake Doug longtubes MSD Distributor MSD wires MSD coil Ceramic coated headers and intake Quick fuel 850 carb

Trans: TCI TH-400

Rear: Currently a 10 bolt with 4.10 gears

Suspension: Stock

Interior: What is there is stock

Some back story: I bought the car in march of 2014 and enjoyed for a month when I blew 2 connecting rods. It was a 461 stroker from a 400 block. It is lowered 2"s all. Here is a link to my project. The shop I left it with posts pictures as they update it. I wish I were home to do the work myself but unfortunately I'm floating in the Arabian Gulf.

Nice ride I like it. You don't see these all the time looking forward to seeing the finished project. Good luck.

Thanks, I'm right there with you. I can't wait to drive it once she's all done.

Thanks, I would trade it for a 70 GTO or LeMans though in almost a heartbeat.

I like it. To me buying a GTO over a LeMans or Tempest is like buying brand name clothes.

man I love those lemans.. I think they look WAY better than the GTOs of that year FOR SURE!

I worked for a Pontiac dealership in those days and don't ever recall seeing a post car. Always were hardtop cars!! NICE!!!

A post car? Cool! I didn't know they existed.

I've done my research and even looked up the VIN, she is a true 72 post car. I guess they were the base model. The real cheap version it only came from the factory with 150HP when I'm done I'm looking at 500+ to the rear wheels.

Thanks, I really like the front end a lot better than the Endura option.
