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.
