I have been reading the tech info that I found on Wallace Racing’s web sight, and I wanted to know if this info is part of a larger book or not? Is the book still available, and who would I talk to about buying it? I am fascinated with the Engine design theory page, and would like to read more of the technical theory articles that are specific to Pontiac, but I can only find Ch*vy stuff. I am trying to learn as much as possible before I begin my own engine build. If anyone knows any good sources for this info, please let me know. In advance, thanks for the help again.

Great, thanks John. I love your sight, and all the info on it. Are there any additional books like this that you can recommend? Who would have thought I would ever use the advanced math concepts I learned in school to read a book for fun! I thought all those classes would be useless!

Resurrecting this thread to see does anyone have a PDF copy of Pontiac High Performance Engine Design and Blueprint? I can't find a reprint or original copy from a trustworthy online retailer but figure that someone might have scanned the book since it's such a pivotal text. I'd also be willing to cover shipping costs if someone would loan me their copy to scan it into a PDF version.

Here are two publications that I have. Both are in very good or excellent condition. I would be willing to attempt to scan them into a pdf file and share them barring any copyright infringements.

Thanks, Ken. We also confirmed there are no copyright declarations in the book, and a search of the USA Copyright database isn't giving any hits.

Ken beat me to this- I was going to scan them earlier this year, so Ken gave me his blessing.. then Covid messed things up...
If you can scan them, That'd be a great resource for the Pontiac faithful!

Pontiac Engine Design pdf
Done by tooski (it's big, so maybe download it instead of opening it in browser?)

This should probably be a "sticky" in both the street and race forums.
I just glanced through it and sooo many of the questions asked on the forums are answered in this book. It should be required reading for any Pontiac enthusiast. If there are any questions about a subject in the book , I'll be glad to answer.
