Cliff Notes ... Pontiac SD-400 + Turbo 400 in a 98 Firebird.

Why would someone do that to that car?

Would be nice to see some more detailed pics.

Its not the idea that bugs me... its why the hell did he put a Pontiac 400... i woulda done a SBC 400 instead.

[Tru2Chevy]

Just one of those old Poncho guys who hates the fact that they put a Chevy motor in a Firebird....

If he had real balls, he would have done a 301 Turbo!

interesting.

I think thats awesome! Whats wrong with putting an origonal Pontiac motor into a Pontiac? Its a great swap if you ask me... maybe not from a performance standpoint (depending), but its definatley nestalgic.

Hey, its different.... I like different

[amargari]

If your are going to do the Pontiac thing, put a 455 in it. Also, put a built overdrive tranny in it. Putting a TH400 is just plain lazy anymore.

ive seen that before and i think its awesome lol

it is a nice idea, but what a crap motor. 77 blocks = trash can liners, #16 heads are small valve+big chamber = no compression, Ram Air IV cam = 1965 technology, and who in their right mind dumps a quadrajunk on a motor that is supposed to be built?
they could have showed some class and thrown a 200-4r behind it or something so it at least got some mileage while being slow.
i don't care about the header leak, that is always a problem with pontiacs because of the exhuast ports design(center two ports on each side merge while still in the head)
i also woudl bet that thing handles like a complete turd. poncho motors are heavy SOB's. weighing in a full 65lbs clear of a BBC fully assembled. the weight balance in that car is ruined, along with the font subframe most likely.
