In mid 1997 when I first read about Dick Duclow and Tom Piecewicz designs for the new aftermarket block and then up thru Jim Butlers first use of it in late 2000 it was known only as the "Indian Adventures" block to me. That was what Jim Butler advertised it as back then. At times there also were references of "Chief Many Horses". I never paid much attention after that and never knew of it with the number one involved, as in IA1. Makes since though with ALL Pontiac involvement and then calling it the IA2 block.
