grumpyvette Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 the pontiac engine is a great engine if your willing to spend the money to build it correctly, what Im saying is 500+ hp is easy from a pontiac but it will cost slightly more that a chevy to get that hp simply because the parts are more expensive and harder to find, first the connecting rods on most pontiacs need replaceing if your looking to make over about 425hp as they can,t be relieably spun over about 5800rpm, next the cylinder heads need serious porting or you need good aftermarket heads, look here, btw an EDELBROCK #2957 INTAKE WITH A GOOD COMP CAMS ROLLER CAM AND PERFORMER RPM HEADS, 2" HEADERS AND 12.5 COMPRESSION MADE 693 HP ON AN EDELBROCK PONTIAC TEST ENGINE http://krepower.com/Heads.htm http://www.chiefmanyhorses.com/iacatalog/indian_adventures_catalog.htm http://www.krepower.com/ http://www.execpc.com/~lewenz/ http://www.wallaceracing.com/techarticles.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
