Cool What’s under your hood?

I did a little detailing on BIGDADDY’s engine compartment. Can you eat off of yours? yes I’m a bit picky about detail. let’s see your engines. Wether factory stock, modified, custom or all original un touched let’s see them. Nothing like a Pontiac power house. So here is my 1969 firebird 400 convertibles. Engine compartment. And yes this car is driven.

Not quite as clean as yours MA but it is a Pontiac. 1950 straight 8 268.2cu", 108hp at 3600rpm and 208 pounds torque at 1800rpm. A beast to be reckoned with!

Yeah, actually when I first saw it I thought of TV's Bewiched. Samantha had been there with her polishing towel.

About Us

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.
