A Pontiac V-8 engine is a simple engine to machine and build correctly with attention to a few details.

That's kinda what I'm alluding to. It's strange how some Pontiac guys feel like the engine is something exotic, and unless it's a Pontiac specialist they cant be built properly.
The machine shops I've used always seem to enjoy doing something different, and have had great success.
It can be frustrating as a younger guy building old iron. It seems like whatever you do, someone has an issue with it. I've built a few potent LS engines, and everyone is super supportive and into it.
