I hear some builders saying step up to Modern Parts, the old pontiac parts are Ancient and you will leave a lot of power on the table, Dont use those Old School Cams lol i say thats alright they havent built a new pontiac engine in 35 years either and we still use those!
Other than Buick,Olds, and Caddy Pontiac understood how to move a heavy car!
There is still a few things we have yet to improve on!

The RA4 cam is amazing in applications that can use it and you would be hard pressed to get a modern cam the same size to out perform it!
The 068 cam is Probably the most versatile street performance cam made for a pontiac
The Factory 4bbl intake is still the best intake that fits under all hoods and was designed during the SD421 engine program!
Machined Combustion Chambers
Doweled main caps, still the best way to locate caps.
Anyways, yeah Unbelievable how smart these guys were!
BUT i will never understand why they used cast rods!
Sorry for the high jack!!!
