John, I don't know since we (Dan, Lyndon, and myself) were too busy running the event to watch any of the racing. We do have the results of all the runs, but Dan is busy now putting it all in a...

I might as well throw my hat into the ring…lol…with my thoughts on hopping up your ’70 350. I would follow the ’69 350HO recipe by adding ’70 #13 heads with their 75-78 cc chambers to keep your...

Post Race Wrap-Up
The weather couldn't have been better (sunny, mid-80's, barometer in the low 30's, and a tailwind of 10-15 mph); 126 cars entered for the race, and of those, at least 22 Pontiacs (3 - 1st Gen...

The weather looks like it is going to be great for the end of summer drag racing, nice and warm with highs in the low to mid-80's, and no rain! We hope to see lots of muscle car fans in the lanes and...

Ken, that Ventura has so much potential to do almost anything with it. It should have the std. 2.73 rear gear (JA open/JM limited slip) with the 350 2-bbl and AC with the M38 (TH350). I'd personally...

I figured out what frame that stamp was from...not my Tempest, but Dan's former '71 455HO T-37. That was the original frame paint since the car never saw any street miles.
Below are the '70...

Pretty nice cars and fairly affordable still. Here's Dan's '86 Parisienne with the GM Corporate (305 4-bbl Chevrolet) engine. We drove it to the Pontiac Nationals, and it got over 20 mpg. Super cushy...

Got back from the TA Nationals...550 miles roundtrip with Dan's '69 350HO Firebird (M20/3.55) and my '70 Formula 400 (with temporary 455HO/TH400/3.55). The '69 knocked down almost 18 mpg and the '70...

Bart, The W72 was dyno'd with 93 E10 pump gas. Dan dyno'd another W72 400 a few years earlier and found that made the most power at 42 degrees advance, so he just kept that for all the pulls. It's...

Here is my brother Dan's '408' build and dyno session story below. Note that the compression with shaved 6X-4's is only 8.75 to 1, but it still made great power with a 2800 cam.
