I would like to start this thread and make it a 'sticky' so others can see what different combinations people are having success with. This will be a very useful archive to use for future reference for all PY members, your post won't disappear from the top of this page.

'Traditional' 1955 - 1981 Pontiac engines only please.

Aftermarket blocks, heads and cranks that fit the 'original' Pontiac V8 engines are also part of it, they're definitely still all 'trad' Pontiac pieces. The '66 -'69 Pontiac OHC-6 engines are welcome. No LSX, Chevy, Olds, or any other engines.

Please post the component combo of your running street engines only, not the combo you're now building or might build someday. The more details, the better.

If you've run your car down at your local dragstrip, we sure want to know what E.T. and MPH it ran. Let us know what kind of car the engine resides in and the car's weight if you know. We need to know what transmission, torque converter (if auto), rear end gears and rear tire size you're running if posting dragstrip results.

If you've had it on an engine or chassis dyno, please share the HP/TQ numbers or your dyno sheets.

Everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a 'true' street engine. Some folks drive their near-stock street engines hundreds of miles on road trips, other just rumble around town with their really wild street engine in a thinly-disguised race car. As long as you use your car on the street on a regular or semi-regular basis, we want to know all about the engine.

Post a picture of your engine if you can or of the car your engine lives in (one only full-size pic please), we would all like to see what your Pontiac engine looks like. Do not post pictures that are so large that we have to scroll back and forth to read the thread. Please reduce the size of your pictures, if you don't know how please ask in the 'Test & Tune' forum. Post all the thumbnails you want, you can download up to 5 of them in the current format. The whole point is to keep this thread easy to read. I will delete pictures that are too large (no larger than 640 X 480 pixels).

Please help keep this thread 'clean', nothing other than your engine combo can be posted in this thread.

If you have questions, please send a Private Message to the engine's owner or start a new thread asking your question. You can link to the individual post you are referring to by clicking on the post # in the upper right hand corner of the post, then copy and paste the link that appears to put in your new thread.

This is a reference thread only, not a Q & A thread. It loses usefulness with a bunch of questions and answers mixed in. I will delete any posts by members who are not presenting their engine combo.

Please do your best to put up a quality post on your combo, spend a little time so others can benefit.

Step up and post your street engine combo, Pontiac fans!
