I am looking for pontiac cylinder heads #96. I believe they only came on 1968 firebirds and maybe GTO's. Any information would be helpfull.

heads are 1971 400 heads w/ fully drilled exhaust manifold bosses for headers.

Rick you are looking for Pontiac heads???? Wow what a change for you.

BTW, I have a new ride. It is a 1965 GTO with an alcohol injected motor. 541 cubic inches. Runs 8.80's at 150 MPH. I sold my other 1965 GTO. Car is NHRA Super Gas legal.

You might want to make this post on www.performanceyears.com. It is a Pontiac only bulletin board. Post it under performance parts wanted and the race section.

Good luck.

The 1968 Ram Air II heads were also a "96" casting. I have seen quite a few sets on E-bay. Expect to pay a pretty good chunk if you find any. This would be a good a great candidate to have a "replacement" head added by the NHRA.

forgot about those early round ports. were a firebird deal only I think. very limited if on a goat. I'd take the later 71 heads on a 455 too. that was a big swap 15 plus years ago with no aftermarket heads available. sold my Pontiac stuff then, had a big collection, all gone now. GTO prices are out of reach to me now.
