I have owned a 70 Barracuda 383 and a 67 Dodge R/T 440. Talk about design flaws! Crappy brakes, unibodies, very rust prone and crappy transmissions. I can't even watch "Graveyard cars" anymore because if I hear him say "Mopar or no car one more time... lol. Like mentioned every engine has "flaws" I have rebuilt most of them. Buick 455 needs the oil pump mod if you want it to live. If Pontiac had a design flaw it was those cast rods. Put a Chevy guy behind the wheel and pop goes the rods.
 Ever see the oil pump drive in an Ford "FE" engine? 1/4" shaft. Had one snap when the nylon timing gear managed to get a piece into the oil pump. I do like those Engine master vids on youtube. Very informative.

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.
