Thanks for the info, but the headers would not allow this motor to be put into a
stock bodied car.  They swoop up and curl over and out the back of the motor in
a style that suggests a indy racer or cart, etc.  Definately not a front engine
application.  Does anyone else have anything???  Where is the pontiac museum??
