The two extra, from the set, are in a box. Also supposedly has a HP cam. He's looking for the paperwork. I might try the machine shop also. Was built at Smith Machine Shop in Wichita KS. It's good to have free options!
I really can't stand the six popper. That car will be more fun with the V8. I would add more structure to the frame.

I agree. Gotta have some stones! Also agreed on beefing the frame. It has some already. Will add more. I'm going to visit a local Hot Rod builder to evaluate and learn. He recovering from an illness currently though.

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.
