That's a "small block" Pontiac, missing 1/2 of it's cylinders. Fairly certain the new crow would have the 482 iron block IA II he has been running for years, with a switch down the road to the all aluminum solid block IA II he also has. That is probably the block the CV heads will be going on. That's just my guess. It should be an interesting year for the show and Chief's program.

The 301 with its 9.14 short deck is closest to what you might consider being our small block V8. The heads and recip sucked as did the 79 and older non turbo blocks.(79 "T" blocks and newer 80 up 301's arent all that bad.)
If anything our Pontiacs are "mid-size" blocks.
I havent asked which block so dont have an answer. I'd
speculate the iron block gets CV1's similar to/same as Fultons with something in a larger port for the aluminum block. We will find out when it debuts I guess.
Glad hes going with black... "Crow" and white just never seemed to fit IMO
