Blown 4
Remember this being posted in several different threads?
Guess it’s about done being rebuilt. Here’s a pic and a post from the new owner. Also a photo of the car it originally came from. The sellers father, Ron Benham ran the car at Bonneville in 1963. The Baby Whale. Oswald Mcgillycuddy “Supposedly Fritz built it. M/T Pontiac Tempest 4cyl with chain driven 471 blower. Scott single throat injector with early EELCO fuel shutoff attached to the injector, Tom Beatty snout. Aluminum rods and pistons. Head o-ringed. Harland Sharp rockers. Roller cam and lifters. Wico magneto. (2) early Thompson water fills same as run on the Challenger land speed car with 4 Pontiac engines. Clutch turbo type Trans with clutch and pressure plate. Looks like it was run in a dragster at one time.”

Appears to be Underdriven.
Seems to me it has a smaller rotor sweep than a 6-71/8-71, so i would pine for 1:1 drive. But that is a real interesting assembly, and would be so cool running in a vehicle. |

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.
