LOL !
No book plans.
But, I do plan to try to chase down all the Pontiac Stock/SS race results, class winners, record holders, & good pics I can.
From what I have learned, so far, I think MOST, or at least a large portion of, the info I'm lookin for was printed in the National Dragster papers. But I don't have those. And as far as I know, they are not available in an online form.
If I had all of 'em, I'd spend a large portion of every day, searching thru 'em for Pontiac info/pics. But, I'm doin the best I can.
Actually, I'm quite surprised at the amount of info I've been able to come up with. I suppose that's why they call the internet "The Information Superhighway".

Hey, GM killed Pontiac. Actually, to some of us, it was dealt a death blow when the Pontiac V8 was discontinued, especially the 400 engine. But, there are still a few of us diehard Pontiac freeks out here, trying to keep the brand alive, on track on the track & street.
The unexpected amount of aftermarket Pontiac parts has really given the Pontiac hobby a survival boost. A "Pontiac" engine can now be built without using a single GM part. And that includes the alum head 428 Super Stock engines. For stock, with 400 & larger engines, I suppose the only 2 GM parts you must have are the heads & intake, since you can use an Edelbrock Q-jet.
That brings up a question. Just wondering if you can use thick sleeves in one of the aftermarket Pontiac blocks, to build a 350 Pontiac engine ? Only know of 3 guys running a 350 in SS. Maybe Bill Rink could answer this question.
The 350 bore was 3.875, I think. 400 bore was 4.120.
But, lookin at the info on CRI, I see that the aftermarket block is legal for a 400, but not a 350.
