Sometimes it's with civility, and sometimes with hostility. My car has very little left thats factory Pontiac, the block is, and the timing cover. It has efi, coil on plug, electric fans etc. In my opinion, the street section should embody hot rodding. We have dedicated sections for all the body styles, that are geared towards stock representations. I can't even get an administrator to answer a PM about a dedicated efi section, even though we have an ever increasing demand for that knowledge, that is now scattered about in at least 3 different forums. My general take away is that we are not as a group embracing the technology of the day. People don't have to choose Pontiac, why would we discourage them from making something great out of the old iron that we love?
To the OP, sorry for mucking your thread, even in defense of what you're doing.
It seems to make sense to put a "Pontiac with a non Pontiac Motor" in this section. If they didn't have "sections" it would be awfully hard to weed through what one is interested in discussing or reading about.... JMO

If you had an EFI section would you think it would be logical to put carb threads in that section.... No need to answer.

we need a section for threads that are about arguing about what section different threads should go in.

"not as a group embracing the technology of the day" technology of what day ? The last 400 V8 was in 1978 and had a carb. (79 TA got left over 78's why they were only available with a manual transmission) The fastest T/A had a Buick engine.

Built my Judge in the '80s to autocross. Suspension is mostly Oldsmobile or delrin. Has Firebird wheels (15x8 road and Formula steering). A/C std 3.23 replaced by a 3.55 4 pinion. 808 steering box. That is the " technology of the day". Stock stuff is in big baggies.

Often beat Z-28s. Had more trouble with Corvairs on short courses but is nothing like a V8 on a road course.

Default Exhaust Done!

Between the width of the mini-tubs and the width of the stick style EFI Fuel Tank, there just wasn’t any room to run the tailpipes over the rear axle. But I actually really did the turn downs after the mufflers! Pypes 3” with X and Race Pros.

Thank You!!! Wow! That engine bay in your car is absolutely spectacular. LS engines can look so clean and sharp when you take the time to route the plumbing and wiring harness. The engine bay of my car is not as 'show ready' as yours, but that might be something I can tackle one project at a time once I take delivery.

I'm not in FL - but the car is! Rick Deiters at Trans Am Specialties did this build. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out.

That looks great! Feel free to share more pics! You know, since we're in a non-offensive section of the forum now.

Thanks PDC My goal was to keep it “looking original” by making the coil packs look like a distributor, painting it Pontiac blue & using a single plane intake. 95% of the people think it’s original & the other 5% think it is a BBC because of the headers. Only 1 person so far knew it was an LS. Too bad you are not down here as I would love to see your car & compare setups. Yours is a rocket ship on wheels!

Thanks Jschmitz! I’ll post more later in my own thread as I don’t want to muddy up this one.

To be clear - I'd love a dedicated thread on your build - it is VERY cleanly done! But that said, I sure don't mind having you post info and pics here, either. This is my first LS platform vehicle and I am all ears.

This just looks fantastic. I know the added plumbing for the SC on the LS9 will impose a limit on how far I can de-clutter the engine bay. But this is a perfect example of how clean an LS can look when you take the time to route the plumbing and wiring. Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks guys as I really appreciate the kind words 😃
One of the key components for this build was a functional shaker & original looking engine. I was able to succeed with both I think. I wanted to do a SC but it caused a lot of hurdles to overcome. For the next one I want to do a TT formula & somehow incorporate the intakes into the scoops 😎

Default The Eagle Has Landed

Finally at home in the garage. That LS9 is brutally powerful. And with a 6-speed and 3.73s out back, the entire tach is the ‘sweet spot.’

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.
