Correct me again Mike, if I am wrong on this, but was not Arnie's later engines from GM based on a Chevrolet Block with Chevy Design heads with a Chevy Bore Spacing? (and a Pontiac Part Number and logo on the heads.)

Same deal that John Clegg ran for several years in his firebirds?

Why would I bash someone who used to buy Pontiac Parts from my Uncle's Dealership????

Actually, your right. I thought I was in a different thread as well. But Arnie never ran any engine in the 64 GTO Tameless Tiger that would be eligible for Stan's list. That car always ran the Pro Stock "Pontiac" engine. I put it in quotes because as you correctly stated is was BBC based with Aluminum heads designed by Pontiac. They were very good actually. They made many different versions and Arnie had the early very hard to find castings. Back to topic, Fastest traditional Pontiac powered door cars.
