I forgot to mention that all the rubber around the car was replaced with new material. The door handles and locks are all new. The sun visors are new. The font Windshield glass is new and the back was from existing stock parts. The side window glass is tinted from the factory. The package tray is new. The seat belts are from stock. We had to modify the upper bracket to the ceiling in this T-Top car for the shoulder harness. We have an electric push button in the glove box to release the rear Trunk latch. P.S, P.W, P.D.L., trim on peddles. Emergency brake is modified because the roll bar is in the way. Trans. Temp. gauge in the center console with a light in there too. An extra light fitted on the rear of the console for the rear passengers. Ash trays on both sides in the rear. Cigar lighter. The fan circulates all the time, through the cab and back into the Trunk and out the D.S. door jam. Lights under the dash. New mirrors. The Ash tray has a light in it, fiberoptic.
New door sill plates. Windshield wipers are retractable and upgraded ones, for lack of better terms. MSD Ignition, new Timing chain and Gear. New Johnson Lifters, HD push Rods, Oil pump, splash shields under each Valve cover. The Heads had just been remanufactured. New Torque converter, Flexplate and Harmonic balancer. The Motor is a 1967 428 ci HO with a 1966 Tri-power Carb. and Intake Manifold. This 428 ci motor has 376 HP out of the box, this one could be about one inch per cube, with the "041" Cam and air induction, with Aluminum Headers wrapped in Header wrap, plus the Headers are coated with porcelain, inside and out. The motor was recently degreed on a degree wheel and found to be within factory specs., along with the Cam. The Tri-power Carbs. are modified and jetted for the 428 ci, that it is on. The Tri-power carbs. have all new parts, completely Internally. This Motor has reached 130 MPH and it is believed that with the addition of the "041" Cam, higher speeds can be gained. The "041" Cam is known to have top end performance. Last edited by TRADERMIKE 2012; 12-06-2023 at 07:04 AM. |

Please tell us more about the aluminum headers. Those may be the first ones ever made! |

Been up all night, I forgot that Pontiac had used them on short race tracks only because they got hot too fast to run on the road or long tracks, my bad, I retract that statement and stand corrected. The Headers are made of metal and coated with porcelain, inside and out. You said: " Infomercial now"? Mikes reply: I have to keep my other 44,000 readers of this Thread interested in the Pontiac Experience, someone, some were, may just benefit from these commercials. The picture of the P.S. fender is where I attached the remote oil filter. In front of that area, is a hole about 6" x 6" through the radiator support, on the other side, toward the inside, we attached the MSD and sidekick fan motor inside, with a small radiator type cooler, that we use for water from the Heater core to the side-kick cooler, for extra cooling capabilities like when we run the AC in traffic or stop and go traffic or stopped at a bridge down here in Florida. Truth be known, the side kick and the condenser fans came ten years ago before we learned about factory type ways of cooling Pontiac Motors with AC or the Pontiac and 421 mods from the Internet. We once had pulled the condenser out of this vehicle, while we waited for a new one to come in. We decided to put it back together the way it was and that turned out to be an experience that I will never forget. I liken it to having a piece of plywood out in front of the vehicle by "not" having the condenser in the way. For the first time, I could drive at 30 degrees less at the Temp gauge. I had an Inferior clutch and no holes in the Thermostat yet, both upgrading to the HD Temp. actuated clutch and a good three-hole Thermostat, would have made even more of a positive difference. I did not even know anything about them nor the 421 and Pontiac mod. yet either, for they too would have made a positive difference. The first mod. that I performed on this Engine was the Pontiac water pump mod., that by hammering the plate to a tighter tolerance helped the water flow better, in fact when I opened the radiator cap, I could see the water jumping across the top of the radiator like a garden hose that was putting out a fire.
