i currently have a head case for a project. so while at work i was driving around looking for parts. i saw what looked like a firebird so i stopped. just looking for parts. i walked away with a 1967 conv bird 90% complete air, powertop, rear ant. ys 350, and 30000 newer production from the exact same plant in ohio as my other bird. much better shape. typical rust.. with that i had to take the 68 bird shell and frame with it. his price was 3500. after a 1000 down and some bartering on engine work on his chevys 68 camero, cutlas, lamans and yes hies 67 ho conv. 326 bird. we are square. he buys the parts i do the labor. SWEEEET i think. it is the red bird in my pics.

Sounds like a good deal! Good work.

YS was a GTO 400 motor only I believe... Was a 350 for perhaps a year..Odds are in your favor that it could be a 400....good find!

How do you know all the codes?

Some I know, some I look up. I only answer the ones I know to make myself look good.

YS is one of those codes Pontiac used over and over. It's one that you need a little more info to be sure about. Heck, it could be a 389!
Here's one reference to look up these codes;

wow, i did see a repeat in the ys code, i did not realize the many options it could be... ill have to check it out.

You can get the date code by the distributor hole as a cross reference. If you need help locating it or decoding it, no problem....

cool hopefuly i will have the cars home in a week.

id say its a nice surprise to go looking for parts and come home with a whole car for dirt cheap! good deal and it looks more solid than the one you have in the garage with the 1/4's cut off of it!

unfortunatly the code dosent matter now. when i pulled it water started to pour out the dipstick... major rust on the lifters.. and 100 gal of water in the pan. manafolds crumbled and well didnt ecen look at the trany..
