I'd gladly pay you a finder's fee if you went to all the trouble of locating the article. Really.
I built a motor from that article back in the mid '90s and put it in a 66 Catalina convertible. Probably weighed 4500 pounds. It ran about 96 mph at e.t. 15.10 at sea level. Open rear end with 3.23 gears IIRC. Street tires- no traction.
Sold the car to someone in Norway. Kept the motor. Sold it in a '72 Ventura to a guy who immediately jerked the 455 out and went sbc. Engine got ruined sitting outside in the weather. I bought the remains back from him recently and I wanted to refresh my memory of what I did against the build in HHP. Bought a 67 Tempest recently to put it in. Anxious to get things rolling!

I'll dig around this weekend and see if I can find it.

About Us

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.
