    I've been around cars close to 40 years and I've always like the Pontiac OHV motor. Even when I was a kid I thought Pontiac was ahead of it's time.

    Had a '68 Tempest with one of these in it. 1 barrel carb, 2 speed transmission, and I still got more speeding tickets in that car then all of my other cars combined. lol Loved that engine/trans combination!!

    I love me an inline six. Badass. The perfect motor, an inline six; inherently balanced, not to big, not too little, sounds great. A love a V8 too, but the six is my favorite.

    Sounds awesome! I'd love to drive one of these. One of my neighbors had a '66 Tempest Sprint parked in the driveway for years and years... always thought about knocking on the door and asking "how much to make it disappear?" Then out of nowhere one day, they got it running, cleaned it up, drove it around for a few months and sold it - probably for quite a profit!
    I gotta LOL @ some of these clueless comments. The 4bbl 230 OHC engine - stock - was rated 215HP gross. That's at the flywheel in a climate controlled environment with no alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, straight exhaust, etc. 199HP at the wheels is the net rating minus mechanical losses and atmospheric factors. There's no reliable conversion between gross vs. net or crank vs. drive wheels, but it's safe to say that this Firebird is making a shit load more power than it left the factory with.

      I went through the trouble of rebuilding my IH 392 for my numbers matching Travelall. Will probably make 275hp. Yeah a small block is cheaper but that would be lame.

    Nice very nice. Ive got a 66 tempest and I did a sprint replica with it. I have a clifford cam head work intake and 3 to 1 headers with a holley 570 street avenger. I put down ENGINE dyno 237hp and 246ftlbs. Mating it to a 200r4 outta a grand national with 3.90 rear gears. Still working on the frame off resto but I hope its fun only ran mine to 6200 rpm's what where you pushing it to here.

  • @overcastfriday81
    @overcastfriday81 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I estimate that to be about 235hp at the flywheel. If there was a 1960s european sports car sold with such engine power/specs, they'd be worshipping it like God's gift to motorists.

    • @manher4335

      engine prolly has around 300 at the crank, and yeah a honda makes 200 net hp which isnt at the wheels like this one is. so safe to say this car is 100 net hp more than a honda and thanks to parasitic loss being hefty on older drivelines prolly about 50hp more... which isnt bad considering the huge tech difference. quite sad for the honda really not the poncho

    @clinemichael YAWN......... 96 camaro had 285hp. Learn about FWHP and RWHP. Its quite vital information for B.S-ing about cars. This Inline6 has over 300hp at the flywheel. This dyno took place in high elevation... yet another variable. Thankyou good night.

  • @IcabodCrane
    @IcabodCrane 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @kolbpilot
    You're fairly correct there. The original Poncho I6 doesn't have bearings and the oiler is usually sort've anemic. This lead to a lot of them needing rebuilds after around 100-125k miles and revving them beyond 7000 just wasn't smart. However, Primatech makes a DOHC conversion head for these monsters capable of over 12,000 rpm, and these blocks are one of, if not THE simplest on the planet.

    is that stock engine that scored 199 hp ? suppose to be 205hp ? there's one for sale near me (Sprint model), 6 cyl. guy is asking $27K and says it original, pretty much and runs just fine and good condition... what could it do 0-60 with it's stock set up ? I'm looking to buy an older car that's in decent shape, but not too costly to buy.. would like a 350 motor camero or mustang, but open to other models.. I say a Lemans convertible that was two tone burgancy and cream, but with brown interior... but looked pretty nice.. too... open to few models.. Any feedback on acceleration numbers on this Pontiac ? dare I ask what would be the fuel economy ratings ??

    Don't you find it funny how many kids who haven't driven for more than 2 years (unless you count Gran Turismo) that try to argue horsepower specs straight up as if they mean anything? A 6.75 liter Bentley V8 with two turbos should make more than the "piddly" rated 530 horse, or 300-400ish older models respectively, then you add the words "around 3800 rpm", and "774 Torque". Then you hear "My Dad's 454 Wagon makes 550 it'll smoke you." about a 2nd place ice-land speed record car.

    • @DeanMk1
      @DeanMk1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Must be a custom ground crank. 292 crank would make it a 292, but to get to 302.5, you'd also have to bore it .070 over. The block is only capable of being bored .040 over.

    (cont) I mean it's like they completely disregard RPM, weight ratios, gearing, and anything else because somebody put a flashy number up. -My- Dad's 2010 Challenger with the 3.5 DOHC V6 and 5 speed autostick is faster than the 67 327 4bbl he had with a 4 speed M21, and it weighs about 900 pounds more.

    You would think that a highly tuned Pontiac 250 OHC would put out close to a horsepower per cubic inch. Maybe not (I don't know), could be inherently in the head design, poor flow. Still cool to see these sixes being worked over.

    • @barbmelle3136
      @barbmelle3136 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      From Leo: It probably would show another 50-75 hp on an engine dyno. There are power losses in the differential as well as anything on the fan belt and a street exhaust. In car dyno tests are always lower than engine dyno tests.
