THAT IS SOME FUNNY CHIT.

GM killed the Pontiac Division as well as the Oldsmobile Division.

There is NO Pontiac Engine, they stopped making them years ago.
The LS engine was the last breath of the Pontiac Division.

You have some people copying Pontiac Engineered designs for parts.
You have some making parts that will just bolt onto the engine.
Saying that an engine is a Pontiac engine just because it has approximately a 4.625" BORE SPACING is mighty weak as far as calling a part a Pontiac part.
You have a few left over Junk Yard and garage hoarded parts still out there.

Leveling the Playing Field, like I said some funny chit.
When John Mahovitz can run a 5.70 quarter mile time with a 281 cid engine
using Turbos, when you can also run a 5.70 quarter mile time with the same weight vehicle, with the same aero, and with the same 4.6L engine size then you can talk about a level playing field.
Mahovitz went thru about 26 engines (give or take a couple) to put his number on the board and many years of time and lots of money.

You, 242177P, just want to gripe about not having a level playing field.
I have not seen one post by you providing any real knowledge to this forum or any other forum. Just a complainer when a few do all of the work.

Where is your LS background so that you can figure out how to make a BETTER engine vs the LS engine and call it a Pontiac Engine. Go away. Mickey Thompson was a DO-ER. You are just a complainer.

I have given you advice on the board. Can't accuse me of stirring Chit. My advice is valid as is my history on the Pontiac Aftermarket Engine parts.
