Anybody Ever Race the '60's 4-cyl ?
A Pontiac friend once brought one to my shop, for storage. It looked like 1/2 of a 389. This one had been in a drag car. Don't know how good, or bad, it ran. But it had 4 Carrilo rods & 4 dome pistons, & I think it also had a Ram Air IV head on it, IIRC. That's about all I can remember about it. If he don't see this & chime in, I make ask him & see what else he remembers about it.
Anyhow, this thread is to find out who has raced one of these, and to get all the performance & build specs I can. Back in the '60's & '70's, when Modified & Gas classes were still popular, one of these built correctly may have been competitive. I've always called this engine the "Iron Duke". Just learned, in recent years, that the Iron Duke was a later model 4-cyl.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Trophy_4_engine https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C...30.4xD7Eq2Gnas https://www.enginelabs.com/news/home...half-an-eight/ http://nunzipontiac.com/videos.html Last edited by ponyakr; 10-24-2019 at 05:22 PM. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
