Well, this was a departure from the norm. A 461ci Pontiac! We had another shop refer an engine build to us, because they didn't have the time. We appreciate those referrals, because it means that other engine building professionals have confidence in our work. But really, I hadn't built a Pontiac engine in a long time, and this customer showed up with a bare block and some hardware. We pieced it back together with an Eagle rotating assembly, a Howards 227/235 @.050 hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and intake manifold, PRW stainless steel roller rockers, stud girdle, valve covers, and water pump, Pertronix distributor, and an 830 cfm Quick Fuel DP carb. The end result was 522 HP & 585 TQ. That should make a '68 Firebird scoot along very nicely.
