I like the whole thing, but the way the motor uses up the entire compartment, including right up to the hood line, just looks all business. HOTROD.
Awesome ! That X2 intake looks great! Down the road, if you want a little more power re do the headers and make them 4 tube equal length. Are you running a 4 speed? What year trans & bellhousing? Great looking machine ! Axle
Great job.. I've a 31 Ford with a 455 Pontiac and wouldn't change it for the work.... You'll be pleased Pontiac Slim
Pontiac power is a BLAST...the torque will keep the new owner SMILIN' Just to clarify (and not trying to be a prick), all '63 Pontiac engines (not just Super Duty 421s) used bellhousing-mounted starters. Great machine!!
I like the whole car, but really love that engine! I have the same intake and several Poncho motors....just have to decide what to stick it in.
Sweet car!! Especially with Pontiac power! Of course, you can probably figure out I'm a bit partial to Pontiacs by my avatar.
COLDWAR Very nice..... love the drivetrain and love the use of the header dumps.(but then I am biase) superb!
FWIW, 64 used the bell-mount starter, late '64 blocks can come drilled and tapped for a block mount - I have a '64 motor I pulled that has the ear and has holes in it, not sure if they're tapped or not. But the starter on it is mounted to the bell.
