67 Tempest build
Not really a build, upgrading the car to suit me. Bought the car a few months ago. All steel except hood, deck lid and bumpers. Factory glass, 2x3 tube chassis with a 9"and turbo 400. Currently has a 467 in it, but replacing it soon. Not sure what engine will replace it yet.

First pic is after removing the steel front end. It was once a tilt front end, then modified into a one piece front end (6 bolts to remove).
It was pretty hokey so I had a local chassis shop mount a one piece front end. Also had them mount a chute. The steering wheel was super low, literally in my lap. I had them move it from below the dash bar, to above it. The shifter mount was weird too, it came off the seat bar and was supported from the side off one of the seat mounts. So I had them put in a normal shifter mount. Last edited by Mean Green; 11-18-2015 at 08:41 PM. |

Here are a few pics of the headers they built for the car. 2 1/8 stepped to 2 1/4.
Early Dec I'll start working on the car again. Still need to upgrade the wiring, fuel system, ignition system, and gauges before it hits the track. Probably going to swap out the 10.5W's for 14x32's too. |

Yes, cool car. Just cant stand L88 cowl induction hoods on Pontiacs though. Belong on chebbys. With the money in those headers maybe a set of 465cfm CNC Tigers on top a 541 ?

Doesn't look like an L88 hood to me. 69 Camaro style cowl induction. I like the stock hoods better, but the cowl looks better than those ugly pro stock scoops. You can make more power with the ugly scoops though lol. Nice car BTW

Thanks everyone.
RaceGTO65- Never been to the March Meet, but I looked it up and it looks like a good time. I'll be there. Dragncar- I'm ok with the cowl hood. Not many options with Pontiacs, a 67 is a little late to use a SD hood. I'm hoping the car ends up with a Tiger head engine, we'll see how things work out. |

First-rate build all the way.
Most definitely worth the wait, operating a business and at the same time building a race car of this caliber is no small feat. Congratulations!  Bart

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.
