Yes, he has cubic inches on his side. Just a simple +.030 455 with cast rods and TRW forged slugs, nothing sophisticated. Probably just an old Grandvile station wagon engine that was at one time driven by someone's Mom to the grocery store.

But take note, the real power comes from a well-chosen cam and heads recommended by a proven Pontiac shop.

That and taking time to tune the entire combo to near perfection.

It takes more than just big cubes, it takes dedication to getting everything in line.
