| + | ==Overview== | ||
| + | The Pontiac engine has long been recognized as being a good engine for making a lot of torque at a relatively low RPM. Recent advances in aftermarket parts in general and cylinder heads in particular have given new life to this venerable platform. While turning your Pontiac 400 into a fire-breathing BBC eating machine can be accomplished given enough dedication and money, the Pontiac engine remains a viable ''economical'' option for building a lot of torque using basically stock castings, including blocks, heads and cranks. | ||
| − | + | As for the current (ca. 2000-up) aftermarket support given to the Pontiac engine, suffice to say that a Pontiac engine- much like a BB or SB Chevy- can be assembled using basically NO factory production parts whatsoever. Never before has the Pontiac engine enjoyed such aftermarket support, and it can truly be said that the golden years for building a Pontiac is... NOW! | |
