Brian Phillips is running this same combo and does very very well with it. What is it that you need help with ? Parts ?

Ask Billy Nees about the 301 Pontiac.If he's in a good mood he'll give you a wealth of info.

Richard, yes that was me... was not there long enough to get to know many of my neighbors! Sorry. Hope to see you in Crandall.
B Aceves, you are right, thanks. I forgot about Brian's car. I thought at first that Bo had bought it, but then saw they were both on a sheet late last year... While I would love some help if someone had a motor, I was just half kidding. I have some stock parts sitting on a shelf - heads, intake, stock short block, just do not have the time or money to go thru and do everything right, at this time. With a wife and two young boys, racing funds come down the line some ![]() Thanks for asking! Ken |

Richard , I based my original answer on which Pontiac V8 could qualify at Indy for the least amount of money spent. You didn't say whether it had to be in one of the higher classes or not. There are plenty of other good combos; some mentioned, some not yet. If you want to be a player in the 10 and 11 second classes , get ready to spend a bunch of money on the heads, transmission, etc . Same as any other brand...You know the drill.

Mark, thanks for your input. I did have in mind say G/SA or higher but I enjoy your input also. You are right on. I was hoping someone would bring out a combo that I haven't considered and you did.

Rich, the 68 Firebird 400 D port engine is a great combo. You can run well under the index with ( Not Trick ) But good stuff in the engine. The place to spend money right away on it is..... Trans... a 350 or lighter with a 2.75 gearset. 200 is the best choice. A good 8" converter. Fuel system, Not a Holley black pump with 3/8 line. An Aeromotive system, Magnaflow, ect.
A good carb. Start with a good base and work from there. Learn the combo and have fun doing it. Your car is the right car. You have most of the pieces you need. Good Luck....
