    That thing looks great, and I understand about the Chevy engine, you need the injection and for a Pontiac its almost impossible to find for a unit price that is realistic in price. Keep us updated it looks just right.

    If you do ever want to go injected Pontiac, Algon made quite a few of them, actually its one of the most common ones I've found while hunting parts. Its not hard to adapt different year intakes either since the port spacing is the same and its just a flat plate to begin with. There is also 55-60 Hilborn in the classifieds.

    Anyway that is just an awesome car, I've always wanted to get around to building a similar one and its not likely that will happen so its really cool to see someone build one like this.

    The original Zombie ran a big Chevy too, the baddest damn car I've ever seen at any Pontiac meet was sadly Chevy powered. No one really cared what powered it though when that thing was heading right for the wall at Norwalk, the guy drove it out nearly scraping the center barrier and still beat the Tameless Tiger in an exhibition run.

    That Studebaker is so cool I can't believe it. It's awesome when you see a car that makes you jealous. I built quite a few but I don't entirely remember how many, 15?
