Well, I would have to say it is because there are a lot of Trans Ams running around still that came from the factory with an Olds 403 in them, not to mention other similiar cars

OOPS! I forgot about those years... After awhile you begin to think Pontiac only made three motors. Ha!

Actually this topic also covers putting a Pontiac in a Non Pontiac also!
I've given advice on Installing Pontiacs in Chev/GMC Pickups!

I have to say that a 79 T/A with a 403 Olds is a better all-around car than a Z/28 with its "own" motor. Yeah, it is frustrating that corprate politics did what they did. But compare the T/A on the highway,or a smooth curvy road and the car shines. I would take one in a minute [img]smile.gif[/img] . But I will spit on a T/A or Formula or any Pontiac with a Chevy motor in it

Yesterday, I went to have a look at a '65 Bonneville Convertible. As you can imagine, these are pretty rare cars over here. I've heard of this car several times but never seen it before.
Guy had bought it in parts, fully re-assembled it and to his credit, it looks fantastic Till....... you open the hood and see the 500cube Caddy sitting there. "I wanted more POWER" !!!!!! The original block (421)is lying outside in the rain....How can these snoozers be helped??????

heybuck, you need to take that 421 home with you and clean it up for yourself. the caddy's ok if you like a high dollar truck engine. my opinion, mike

This topic exists for those who are tired of spending top dollar for parts that can't compete with the big boys...when was the last time a traditional Pontiac motor was a qualifyer in Pro-Stock?
Watch my ratings crumble now people.....sometimes the truth hurts.

Paul,
I think most of us now understand that you have no control over yourself... Kind of like "not guilty by reason of insanity", I won't hold it against you. Mike, As one who has built a 500+ cube Caddy, I am honor bound to defend the type. Up to the 450-500 HP level, they are cheaper to build than a BBC if you include the cost of the core engine, they are a lot lighter than the Chev and as a bonus, if you dress one up to look like a 396 and put it in your 68 SS El Camino, it really pisses off the Chevy crowd.

Also, didn't many Canadian pontiacs have Chevy motors from the factory ?
BTW, Paul's statement is true. Not just for pontiac, but for everything except Ford and maybe Mopar. Some people do still have the fortitude and cash to stick with pontiac at the highest levels of performance, but on paper, it makes no sense. Then again, owning any of the collectible cars makes no sense on paper [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Agreed. But logic often takes a back seat to passion.
You know the joke about men having two 'brains', but only enough blood to use one at a time? Same thing.

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.
