Hello all, My name is Jon and I am a new member here. Just about finished my first Pontiac engine build as well as a complete rebuild of my 1965 drag car. I got the car from my father who has owned it since 1993. Dad was never able to finish the buid and then he lost interest in the car as he grew older. He now has a well build 68 GTO he is playing with. As far as my car goes, its got a great past story but for me it started with a budget build I did with it back in 2016 because I couldn't see the car not get finished so thats why I took on the project. Its a 1965 LeMans that I have now turned into a GTO clone. Car had 35 cans of satin white spray and 5 cans of plasti dip for the simulated vinyl top. It was powered by a 366ci N?A carbed LS engine before w/TH400 and ran 10.4@125 all motor. It was alot of fun but I wanted to make it PURE again. So I stripped it all down and started all over again. Built my first Poncho powerplant with help from my old man as well as Jeff Kauffman and some other local Pontiac enthusiasts. Details below of build..
