I would have put a Pontiac in it, but that’s just me.

Someone has a LOT of money to play with and choose any engine he wants and as long as a Pontiac ends up back between the frame rails it is cool.

But these Prolines, what is the advantage to just buying a big Hemi or something like that ? A Hemi is something that most can relate to, know what brand they are and thus have fans. Are Prolines limited in what classes they can run in ?

Jack,
Years ago I worked on a number of Chrysler Hemi engines. But since I do not have a race car and am not a racer . Could you please explain to DRAGNCHIT the difference between a HEMI and a 481X.

Thanks,
Stan

Not where I was going with it Paul. Purely in terms of raw horsepower. Will the Proline do something the Hemi can not ? Say you need 3,000 HP to do what you want. Why buy the Proline when you can get pretty much any HP number with a Hemi or Brad.Anderson ?
Is it cost, what class you want to run ?
Where is the Prolines place ?

Your car lol. Should run 10.0's in anything. Then you won't have to convert your roll bar into a cage.
You can call it anything you want. It wasn't an oem design. (Closest to some Chev and Ford designs imo)

I'm not sure where you're going, I just answered Stan's question. Both engines have their place and both have pros and cons.... neither are my specialty, so hopefully someone more qualified can answer your questions.

Agree Pontiacs should have Pontiac motors. There are a few that I can make exception to however.
