I would have put a Pontiac in it, but that’s just me.

I have no problem with 481x's or LS or any other engine? But I do have a problem with them when they are sitting in a Pontiac!

Someone has a LOT of money to play with and choose any engine he wants and as long as a Pontiac ends up back between the frame rails it is cool.

But these Prolines, what is the advantage to just buying a big Hemi or something like that ? A Hemi is something that most can relate to, know what brand they are and thus have fans. Are Prolines limited in what classes they can run in ?

Jack,
Years ago I worked on a number of Chrysler Hemi engines. But since I do not have a race car and am not a racer . Could you please explain to DRAGNCHIT the difference between a HEMI and a 481X.

Thanks,
Stan

You wanted a race and Paul K was willing to drive close to half way to race you on the street, for a nice chunk of change. You made all kinds of excuses why you wouldn't/couldn't do it. Now you THINK he runs 10.90's and want to jump all over this race, for a price you balked on earlier?
