[Richard Grant]

I am considering building a Pontiac. My '69 is only competitive with other '69's. Few if any '69's can run with RJ's Ford and the Dusters. I can't afford to put a big block in it. I may find that I can't afford a Pontiac either since I am accustomed to SBC cost. Their are a couple of SBC combo's that are competitive,(Greg Hill's '70) I may be forced to chose one of those due to cost. The Pontiac's seem to have an advantage at present. See the Burton's, Todd Hoven, Leo Glassbrener(spelling?), etc. I have learned a lot from Woodro, Jim Lewis, and Jeff Stealy so I am ahead of the learning curve on some things about a Quadjet, Metric trans, etc. If the Pontiac thing doesn't work, then I may need to consider the LT1's and LS1's. If all that fails then I will try to be one of the faster '69's.
