Either way, it's gotta be maxed out for that windowed block.

The one I would actually like to have again is my '62 coupe. That '58 was kind of underpowered with the 360. That's a LOT of iron.

That 58 was 5000lbs of trouble !! Forever bending pushrods, and when reverse "went away", that was the end!
Had a 62 4dr htp, and a 64 4hr htp, and I drove the latter to work for awhile and got pretty good gas mileage for a tank, >16 mpg !

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
