I know I'm so embarrassed! The original Poncho 350 is rusting somewhere in a corn field in Macon, Ga. I looked for it when I found the car but the owner said the block was cracked anyway. He put the new crate motor in to make it driveable, but the only problem was the rest of the car's mechanicals were trashed. The Chevy turbo 350, the noisy rear axle, the VERY leaky no-booster drum brakes and the very sloppy steering box and worn out ball joints all led to his selling it. It was dangerous to drive. The car body was ok but everything else except the engine was garbage. It's not a "numbers matching" rare model 'bird. I figure someday I'll find a Pontiac engine and build it right for a swap back, but right now I'm having too much fun with the Chevy to do it! Parts are very easy to come by and it's simple to work on, not to mention the inherent power potential and dependability of the Vortec engine family. I don't just call this a "daily driver", I really drive this daily.
