I sold mine to a guy who thought it would be cool in his Chevy II.

The poncho "sprint 6s" were put into lemans and firebirds in the late 60s. There was also a 4bbl option available, with 250 or so HP. Only prob is that the timing belt and upper timing pulley had a problem with breaking. Or so I was told by a coworker, who pulled the one from his 66 lemans to drop in a 389 GTO mill.

My vague shaky memory seems to reinforce the timing belt problems on these motors. Of course GM has had to take more than one shot at some things over the years to get it right.....

I was eyeing it to see if I could adapt it to a 235 and I wish I would of bought it anyway. | | |
