I have to agree, PY has a ton of good info. I also don't mind transamcountry.com. Its mainly geared towards second gen birds but there is still a lot of good info to be had on Poncho engines there. I'm not a purist, but I do kringe a little when I see a Pontiac without a Pontiac engine. To each his own though. I'm not going to judge anyone for it.

I used to cringe when I didn't see a Poncho in a Poncho...the I got a '79 TA with a 403 and fell in love with those motors...had a few of those...the one in my '84 Cutlass drag car has run a best of 11.56 at 118.

BUT...after owning my '06 GTO for about a week I fell in love with the LS motor. After doing a lot of "stocky" or old school hop ups I decided to do an LS swap in my '78 TA and a ton of other upgrades suspension and brake wise. I do not regret it one bit. She will be out on the road in a few weeks when it dries up a bit but here's a little clip...sorry for my gheyness...three year project to the point in the vid:

But, I am sticking with Poncho power. My Firebird is an original 400 car and I'm planning to keep it that way.
