[1965 Pontiac Parisienne]

Awesome story ...nice job ...i really like the car ...

I sold the car to a very close friend. During the project we put the rear out of the donor car - I think a 2.73 open. My friend put a 3.73 saf-T-trac. The car ran a 14.8 1/4 with the 2.73 open and street tires. Might be a second + faster with the new rear end.

I am late to this thread but its right on for me since I may be getting my old 66 Bonneville.

I loved the sound of my old 64 Bonnes 389 with Ram Air Long Branch manifolds, mandrill bent 2-1/2" exhaust system and Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers #17749..

Its hard to beat the good old 068 cam in one of these Pontiac motors.. I never understood why Pontiac people had to over cam Pontiac motors over the years. I've seen it happen so many times and I've done it myself but quickly pulled the big cam out and put the 068 back in lol... I liked the Nunzi 2041 version but I think they are all long gone.. http://ronspontiacpage.com/reference-pages/nunzi.htm

Agreed, 068 is a great cam. These Pontiac motors can "absorb" pretty big cams but they have to be consistent with the other key attributes of the build such as CR etc. Frankly, with the amount of information on this site and the willingness of people to help out its bordering on impossible to not have a bad outcome. We are very to have this site
