More like Harry Potter. Wizards and magicians and always always another chapter. Something tells me "Pomona" won't be the last chapter. Jim

Re: Pontiac SOHC 6 Stockers ?
The 250/4bbl stick Firebird was a peppy little car. The 67 ,230 is the same HP@ 215
In any case, the rating is WAY too high to be competitive . 180 would be pushing it. I doubt if they'd give you that much off it.

Re: Pontiac SOHC 6 Stockers ?
Thanks Mark.....
I looked again.....I didnt do the calc myself.....and well I thought the damm thing was 500 lighter....I dont know where I got the number.....actually I do, it was from the Old man guessin about 3 years ago.....at 3400+ , but its my fault for thinking it. I also thought the index was slower for O.....my bad.... Takes it from being interesting to being a pig. Id be lucky if I could get it very far under if at all without shooting the bank...... Now that the main Challenger stuff is done and well be tracking soon Im retrying to think of how to clear all our shop space out..... Id like to "trim" things down. This is one project Ive been hauling around for several years. Nice body, flawless interior, and I guess thatll just get mothballed to my house garage until my son gets a little older, and well do a GTO clone like it was intended to be, it was to be a project with me and my dad, but well we have others now  Now it can be my dad and son....Looks like one day MY son will inherit some unfinished projects as well, my 49 plymouth high and migthy replica and a 68 lemans convertible.....oh well.....give him something to do after he outgrows his "motorcycle phase"  Thanks Mark.......I do see it and I was so far off Im going to attribute it to lack of sleep and dropping a driveshaft on my head yesterday. (Sounded awesome though like a slugger hitting on an aluminum bat.....caaarrrrrraaaakkkkkk, as it smacked my forhead...lol Hey dont know of any MINT 83 Challengers or Sapparos running around do ya Quote:

Re: Pontiac SOHC 6 Stockers ?
Tom Langdon had a good running SOHC Pontiac 6 in modified way back when. He is retired from GM now and has a business going for inline engines. He can be reached at

Re: Pontiac SOHC 6 Stockers ?
THANK you......I will give him a call tommorow.
He should be just the guy to tell me if its a pig or got potential.... My son wants a Corvette for his first car, but a GTO convertible will "suffice" he said..... Hes going to be doing all the work to either to get it ready....his chops. Personally I think it would make a neat stocker. And since its in the corral already and prepped for paint and reassembly....not a big deal, except the driveline. Maybe he knows how bad a pig it may be, or how much potential, but I cant see it ever running a second under......ever......that seems like fantasy for that combo at 3400+.....he probably has forgotten more than Ill ever know about a SOHC 6.....

Re: Pontiac SOHC 6 Stockers ?
Drooze, you're going to run into "issues" with the head and intake and parts availibility. Contrary to popular belief, they're not a 6 cyl Chevy with a different head.
