If the Pontiac engine was allowed to grow and develop like it should have we would have seen a lot of great things. But is was not allowed.
All that has happened with the aftermarket Pontiac blocks and heads is the fans of the brand have done it themselves. On their own dime.
Do it, move the bores out , call it a Pontiac and go racing.
Do not get all the "its not a Pontiac BS". BBC guys do not have one problem calling a Anderson a Big Block Chevy.
Just build it and people will buy it.
Pontiacs engineers were forward thinking people. The 1970 427 SOHC Hemi was proof. It would have turned the racing world upside down if they were allowed to finish it.

BTW, does anyone know what the bore spacing is on the Pontiac block Lynn is spacing out ?
And could you get what you needed for space if you just moved the outside cylinders "out" and made the space in the middle ? So it was not some sort of "stretched block" so you could run standard Pontiac cranks and heads. If that is the case it should have been done yesterday.
