That bike is very cool indeed. One of the guys I work with built pro-stock motorcycle engines in the late 1980's and 1990's. I have learned allot from him about cylinder heads, port shapes and much more. I began my fascination with engines a little over 50 years ago with lawnmower engines. Even a 5 HP Briggs and Stratton can make 35-40 HP in junior dragster form. Really amazing. The internet has taught me that there are lots of super smart engine people out here. I used to think I knew allot about carburetors and Q-jets in particular until I joined this board. I rarely speak about fuel system stuff because there are so many on here who dwarf my knowledge on the subject. Again, good luck with the Pontiac. With what you have accomplished with the motorcycle engine, this should be easy, relaxing stuff for you.

I wish it was easy and relaxing .... but jeez, other than theory ... doesn't seem like a lot translates between and engine with 2 cylinders and 57mm bores and one with 8 cylinders and 4" bores

I too started with a Briggs & Stratton on a test stand when I was 12 years old. Still miss that engine ... I'd start it up, and run it just to hear it run Had a home made header, velocity stack, "big bore" carb etc. ... I had not idea what I was doing, but it sure sounded cool.
