They were for a 1961 study by PMD to evaluate plated (non-sleeved) bores in aluminum blocks- one of mine had remnants of chrome-plate on the bores, and marks where a thermocouple had been clamped between the deck and a head. It was a failed attempt. Mickey knew about the blocks and somehow(??) acquired them. These blocks were in no way race-oriented, as Pontiac merely loaned Harvey the sand-casting patterns of a 389. The main webs (and possibly the decks) were slightly thickened, but the bare blocks only weigh 69 lbs.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
