We noticed another article in that Dec 2023 HOT ROD
My wife was waiting in the checkout line at the nearby Publix and she noticed the name Pontiac on the cover of the Dec 23 Hot Rod so she bought me a copy. While the cover enthusiasm was for the 1004 hp BBC there was a short article on page 40 about the 303 Pontiac engine with an OHC on each head. I knew about the 303 turbo V-8's in the late 1970's but didn't know about an overhead cam version off the engine. The article was quite short with only seven photos of the OHC V-8. This was about the time when GM was cutting costs by eliminating several engine lines as smog technology was taking precedence over performance (Hence no more Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick engines.)
Does anyone out there have more info/photos of this very interesting Pontiac V-8?

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.
