I don't know, that front motor looks like Pontiac a valve cover but the exhaust ports are way different. I guess that Wagon is a '62 so if it was 62 or 63 he should have still been running Pontiacs right?

The motor closer to the drive looks like maybe like an old nailhead motor (looking at the valve cover)...

You guys have short memories. That tiwn V8 combo of Mickey's was discussed ad nauseum (on this thread, I think) and they're 215 variants, not Pontiac V8's.

Could be a nailhead but it doesn't really look like it to me.
OK I read through that other thread. They still don't look like nailheads or Pontiacs to me. I don't know about Olds but if yall say they're not Olds then I guess they're not. Are they for sure Buick?

Chris- that's one of the best photos I've seen of the single-blown twin-215 dragster.
Without digging back through old posts, I'll risk repeating myself here- they are both 215 shortblocks, one having the Buick-version heads, the other the Pontiac/Olds version.

 They are variants of the 215 cubic inch aluminum V8 that was used in Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs, but with different heads...just like Jack said (to repeat him repeating himself).

For those interested, I just posted a clip on YouTube of early 70's funnies, T/F, and Pro Stock. Go about 2 minutes in, and you'll see some Union Grove match racing with Beswick's "Boss Bird". There's also some 1/8 mile IHRA racing from Charlotte Motor Speedway....in the pit lanes.

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.
