Car Porn

Love nostalgic drag races. Especially [ponchos] Pontiacs facing off. Sorry that’s not politically correct these days.

 

I'm impressed...a 14.69 dial-in with a 195 four-banger in a car that probably weighs ~3200. Nothin' to be ashamed of there! Looks like a girl driving it, too...

 

Hmm...what would happen if you took that half-a-V8 four cylinder, and halved it again? Dang, it's already been done... https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2011/01/03/mickey-thompson-twin-tempest

 

1965 GTO convertible version is a rare beast.

 

This is soo awesome.

Also: A Buick V6 is a Chevy 350 with two cylinders lopped off.

 

Not quite, but the right idea. IIRC, the Buick 90 degree V6 (3.8, 4.1, and other displacements) has its roots planted in the early '60s Olds/Buick all aluminum V8. The Chevrolet 90 degree V6 is essentially a small block Chev with 2 cylinders lopped off. The 4.3 (262 C.I.) has the same bore/stroke as a 350, the 3.8 (229) the same as a 305, and the uncommon 3.3 (200) the same as the 267 V8 engines.

 

Oops, I was thinking of the Chevy 4.3 Liter V6. Which my brother had years ago in a 1989 Astro van. He told me that, that motor was basically a 350 with two cylinders lopped off.

 

To confuse things even more, Chevrolet also made 2 different 262 C.I. (4.3L) V8 engines...one in the mid '70s (usually found in the Monza), and one in the mid '90s (in the B-body cars, and aka the 'baby' LT-1).

 

Hmmm...yeah that’s pretty confusing.

 

The rare-ness is identified by the square case, and highly sought after.

 

Ducati 916?

 

Seeing how I think you just tuned in and you are obviously a Pontiac lover.

My old Love: 1969 Ram Air IV

Sorry in advance for multiple posts of this.

 

No, I've been around since the beginning of this thread, I posted a pic of my ride on page two. Here it is again though.




I bought it in Nov. of 1984. It's a driver quality car, the pictures hide a few flaws but that way I don't have to worry so much about that first paint chip.

 

Very nice 1967 convertible. Is it an HO? 4-speed or auto? A buddy of mine just sold a 1967 hardtop HO 400 car. A driver as well. My 69 was an auto with a Hurst dual gate, his / hers shifter. And sorry I guess I’m the newer guy in this very lengthy thread.

 

Thanks, not an HO, it originally came with the standard 335 HP 400 4-barrel and Muncie 4-speed. When I got it the original engine was gone and replaced with a '69 400. Some years back it got a .035 overbore and a stroker crank for 462ci. of tire shredding fun. Still has the 4-speed.

 

Yes sir!

1995.
I added the Marchesini Magnesium 5 spoke wheels and floating rotors and open clutch cover.
It was beyond my experience level but was really fun!
