well this is a funny story, i have the 326 emblem on the back and on my sign at the show i put pontiac tri power built by owner, just to see how many would ask, lots did, but lots thought it was a 326, i fired it up in there with open headers and this old guy comes up and says "that ain't no 326" funny, 1965 389 block bored 30 over, stroked crank with 11-1 fully ported and polished 389/421 heads, tri y headers, opened up all carbs, there are no aircleaner studs, i cut them out, bigger jets(this is a matching set of carbs), ultradyne custom ground cam, motor ain't all out cause i want some streetability, petronix electronic ignition, wires and coil. 4 speed close ratio muncie, if and when i blow this i'll just buy another with the nodular iron case. i have many gears for the 9 inch. hopefully it goes all right but i don't care, going for the nostalgia look, i'd probably make more power with a newer intake and a 4 barrel but then the engine bay wouldn't look so cool. i'll bet i had more people taking pics of my plain and simple look than an all out chromed one this weekend.
Should make the old girl move pretty well. Probably a little lighter than my 64, 3700 lbs. It's got a Canadian Poncho engine in it with a close ratio m21. 3.9 rear gears, 255/70/15's in the rear. mine should of had the 326 as well.
Great awards Dan! Having fun and having Gene sign (boy he gets around!) is just the icing on the cake!
