My name is Heath Bullock, I live in Belwood Ontario. Between Orangeville and Fergus, population not so much.
I have a 1963 Pontiac LeMans with a 336cu 2 SPD auto, my wife has a 1963 Pontiac LeMans with a 195cu 4 barrel 4 SPD. We enjoy driving more than showing but it all fun.
Have been on Performance Years forum for a while and am looking for something more generic and alot closer to home.
Of the 61-63 Skylark, Cutlass and Tempest, the 63 Tempest was the best looking. I have a 62 Cutlass with the aluminum V8 built on the same platform. I would love to see your cars some time. Welcome to the forum from Prince Edward County.
Thanks for all the comments, it is a work in progress. Once I have my wife's car (half a 389cu) back together again I am going to put mine under the knife. Her's is on the home stretch just wet sand and buff then reassemble.
Plan is to remove the transaxle and install a 4 link rear end with a 10 bolt 373 gear and a turbo 350 for trans. The transaxle/torque tube was never designed to take the power the V8 put out and if you build and tune one.... Finding obsolete parts made from unobtanium for two Cars is too much!
We put on a show here in Belwood in September hosting approximately 250 cars last year. I will make sure to post when it gets closer.
I would really like to see yours as well, the 62 Cutlass is a conventional drive train isn't it? Aluminum 215 V8 motors are getting to be like hens teeth too.

Yes half a 389cu. I order a gasket kit for a 63 Bonnie 389 and have one extra of a few things. Here it is after a face lift. I have a 10.25 to 1 195 that I am rebuilding for her car. This one is only 8.6 to 1 or something
