This is getting interesting,but time consuming.I have a lot of work to do since I plan on heading for the 10s this year.But I can chat with you guys a little before I head out in the garage.Nickv,you have got to do better than call names.And Mr-GTO you have not told me if you think the LS1 would be around if the sbc was never built.But I would like some information from ya if you can get it.On the LS1.What is the rod and main diameter.What is the rod length center to center.And what is the piston pin diameter.The Pontiac motor is out of production,but is it dead.Maybe you had better ask the boys at All Pontiac(IA 2 block)The Kauffmans(thier own aftermarket block and 2 types of heads)The Butlers(aluminum Pontiac block,RA4 heads)And DCI(the Tiger head,which might change everyting as far as big horsepower REAL Pontiacs goes).I have a LOT of respect for those people,almost heros as far as I am concerned.The 95 Impala was about the same size as the 68-72 GTOs,and given GMs lack of RWD cars it was about the best option as I see it.Pontiac could have gotten a hold of that car,put 2 doors on it and made it look like a GTO.I know it is a pipe dream,exactly.So do not build it at all.Now Rabon.Your logic is messed up,why are you talking litres.Who cares about litres.The 347 from the 50s was a Pontiac motor,and it does not mater how many liters it was or when Chevys 350 Came out.The 347 was a Pontiac motor with the big differances being a different main diamitter and where the starter bolted up.But it shared the same rods,head bolt pattern and pretty much everything else with later Pontiac motors.Anyway time to head out into the garage.
