Subscribe to watch Mike finish this engine build and re-install it into his 1969 Pontiac GTO Restomod, in his home garage! “How to install your heads”, is Part 12 of this Pontiac 400/455 rebuild. Mike is in the middle of rebuilding his Pontiac 400, which is now a Butler Performance 467, because a Lifter Broke! (see link below). This is a very thorough description of what to do, how to do it, and what to watch out for. Enjoy!
