Here is the 72 I was referring to in the previous post.

Sir Jack Brabham, multiple Formula One world champion driver and engineer did some work on Pontiac heads, I seem to recall.
The guy leaning over the engine with the hair parted in the middle looks a heck of a lot like Jack.
Could be wrong, its a bad angle.....lol.

The head is very intersting. That looks like a front mount supercharger set up. There was a Mickey Thompson front mount timing cover on e-bay a few days ago. I bid up to 555.55 for it and got nothing. I wanted it bad but money is tight, that was my limit. Did anyone here buy it?

There are more pics of this car in this thread. That is a Tempest 4 cyl motor. There is a 4-71 mounted on the left side with Hilborn injection.

Here is another view of the same car. That is Mickey Thompson knealing down on the ground.

I did not see that was a fuel tank in front of the engine from my previous post. So much for attention to detail. Wow another cool picture of a blown 4cyl. Pontiac. I can't get enough, show me more!
