	Everyone,
	I would like to ask a trivia question - Attached is a couple of
pictures of a
	motor I have but don't know what it is. I have narrowed it down to
either a olds
	or pontiac motor. I realize this doesn't have much to do with EFI,
but the motor
	has a vintage Lucas mechanicla Fuel injection system on it. The
motor might be
	some kind of protoype, but it was definately built in the mid
sixties.

	There are no stampings on the motor, except for each individual
cylinder number
	stamped above the spark plug hole on the head and on the flange of
the
	corresponding header flange.  The spark plug threads are smaller
than the
	standard, small plug, using a 5/8-inch socket to remove them.  They
look like
	motorcycle size plugs.  The champion part # on them is G-501, for
	cross-referencing.


	I do not know whether the motor is an Indy motor, formula, Can am,
Buick,
	Pontiac, Oldsmobile, etc.  There are external water passages on
either side
	(intake and exhaust) of the heads, and there are oil drainback tubes
located on
	the rear of the head draining to the block.  The block looks like a
one-off
	casting, as there is no lifter valley bores and the valley itself is
cast
	closed, hence no oil drainback slots normally associated with a V-8
of this
	style.  The intake uses slider valves, and the exhaust ports
incorporate a step
	flange that can << File: ATT01663.txt >>  << File: JPEG File
