i got a pontiac 301 it came with a turbo, my question is i wanna use the motor with out the turbo i was searching for a manifold but i cant find one
my question is does any one know what manifold will bolt up?

 

I'm going to assume you're talking about an intake manifold?

A Pontiac 301 is a Pontiac motor; meaning, it takes a Pontiac-specific manifold.

Furthermore, it is UNIQUE in that it's the only short-deck Pontiac block. All other Pontiac motors (326, 350, 389, 400, 420, 420, 455, etc.) have the regular Pontiac deck height. (No such thing as "small block" and "big block" Pontiacs; only "short deck" and "normal deck".)

So the ONLY kind of manifold that will bolt up to a Pontiac 301, is a Pontiac 301 manifold.

As you have probably already noticed, there aren't alot of those in the world; and since that motor was so short-lived and unpopular for anything approaching "performance" uses, AFAIK there's little or no aftermarket support for it. There are however a few 301s without the turbo around, so i think that's going to be about your only hope.

It might be possible to take a normal Pontiac intake and cut it down to fit, I'm not sure at all about that.

 

trying to find parts for a regular 301 is hard. took me 6 months to find a harmonic balancer when I had my grand prix. Seroiusly 301 without the turbo isn't worth the hassle. Not try to get you down but in the long run it won't be effective. My 305 gets better fuel mileage, more power, and can find parts anywhere and more reliable that GP left me stranded more than I drove it.

 

The intake manifold will need to be from a '77-81 Pontiac 301 or '80-81 Pontiac 265. These are "short deck" engines and use an oddball "siamese" intake port layout. Intakes from a traditional Pontiac engine will not fit.

The 301 and 265 were used in many Pontiac and Buick vehicles in the late 70's to '81. Looks for some Grand Prixs, Bonnevilles, Catalinas, and Buick Centurys in the salvage yards. These cars are rarely picked over and the engines are usually still intact.
