I don't fault anyone for their decisions regarding powerplant choices. Each person has their own situation and I trust that they can make informed decisions that are right for them. I am working on a feature about an LS powered car right now. He is a big fan of the traditional Pontiac V-8 but it is a Pro Touring/road racer and the owner was looking for lighter front end weight. Now, you can say that an aluminum IA2-based engine would be lightweight as well but it would still be a bit heavier. Plus, if he blows up an engine, he could have another one waiting for him when he got home. The down time for a custom build like that would likely be months. As Tom Vaught mentioned, we only have so much time on this planet- you don't want to spend the majority of it on the sidelines.

I hope this a wake up call to our vendors. I have my fingers crossed that My IA2 block ships on 1-2-17. I paid for a crank too, but they may have to refund my money!! Wow!

I guess technically the M/P-1 class would be the closest, but I'd need to run period correct 15" wheel's, bias tires and somewhat period correct brakes.

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.
