Sure, it will fit easily. You might have to change the engine mounts, but there is plenty of room for it. I am running one in a 1966 LeMans I just bought.

As far as I know it should. I have been thinking about using one on mine. I have a 350 turbo, but I have problems with mounting my starter on the motor and have been told that with some powerglides I can mount the started on the bell housing.

If you are trying to use the two speed trans that came in the Lemans you may have a bellhousing problem. The Pontiac two speed has a different bolt pattern than the Chevy, but adapters are available. Just use V-8 Chevelle frame and motor mounts.

stay Pontiac power. I love SB Chevys, but Chevy crossbreeds are no fun, uninteresting. just my 2 cents. John

Whats in the Lemans now, 6 or V8?
If going with the Chevy motor, get a turbo350, they are a dime a dozen.....well, not quite, but cheap. You will be much happier.

currently has V-8
my lemans currently has a 389 in it, it runs great, but i dont want to take the 389 and get all kinds of honing and goring done to it, trying to keep engine pretty original.

if your consirned about keeping things pretty original, get another Pontiac motor. I realize there not as cheap as chevys, but by the time you buy a differant tranny, brackets ,starter etc, etc etc, you may as well stay Pontiac. Also, starters are on oppisite side, so youll have to butcher some of the wiring to go with a Chevy engine.
When finished, itll be much cooler with a Pontiac than a Chevy engine , in my opinion anyway, but than, its your car. John

Like you said, the 389 runs great, so why change anything?

Whats wrong with running the 389? Does it smoke or drip oil all over? Please explain your thinking.
