Another project...

[Niessen]

Not sure what I was thinking, but it seemed like a good idea at the time...
Blue car is an OHC6/auto, no option car, Fred Flintstone special.

And I really didn't want a 4 door, but it followed me home anyways! They were being sold as a pair, so I wound up with spare parts in an already assembled form. It's a 326/auto with some basic options, was surprised to find map lights and a remote mirror though.

All of this is because I had parts I wasn't using. :rolleyes: Blue car will be home to a 428/TH400/12 bolt eventually, but probably not before I beat the six cylinder to death. It came with a loose Sprint6 intake/exhaust so I'm thinking about a plate nitrous system. :D

Have fun! Looks like a bit of fun!

If your going to put a brick on the pedal, let me know when and I will come by with a few cold ones and watch it blow up.

[Niessen]

If your going to put a brick on the pedal...Nah. I'm just going to drive it like I hate it. Can't ditch the six before I'm ready to upgrade. If I'm going to use a brick, it had better be something other than a Pontiac. Like a Honda. :twisted:

My second car was a 66 Lemans ohc 6., those OHC6' are bullet proof.. even with two bad valves it ran great on the freeway... I miss that car....

You should consider tossing on the sprint package,at 215 HP you could really have a lil fun and still save on gas ....sleeeper

[67DropTop455]

Please reconsider... there would be quite a few of us that would like to save that lil motor from just being beat for kicks... as it's a great little bit o history as far as Pontiacs go... and there are as of late quite a few companies out there supporting the OHC. There is even one up here in the NW in a 69 Firebird Drop Top with a supercharger putting out 411 HP!

Check with these guys if you want to see some options:

Or I'll take it and just store it till I find a car to put it in etc... just say the word! Congrats by the way... always fun to get new projects!

Brett - 67 Drop Top 455! (my first car was a Sprint 6 bird, beat most V8's!)

[wokeupscreamin]

Hey... I have a crap load of OHC6 parts. Pretty much the whole engine with a cracked block. If anyone has a block they wanna build on, and needs ANY parts... let me know. I need to get rid of some of this stuff.

[67DropTop455]

I may start picking up stuff like this (especially if people are just wanting to get rid of it) as I couldn't stand to see it go to the dump. But just for the sake of saving it at this point... eventually I'd love to build up a nice Sprint motor...

But right now, it's nothing I NEED... or have to have. But I'll let you know if any of the Cammer guys I know need anything right now?

But let me know if you need to just get rid of the stuff, and I'll pick it up before you would toss it...

Thanks - Brett!

Any updates on this Pete? Show us some pics of your '67 GTO.

[MikeS]

OHC 6 stuff is cool and getting more rare every day.
GTO_Al - where are you here???

I'm here.... Looking forward to getting my Sprint on the road. Ya, I think it's cool... even if it's a OHC6... ;-) And you're right, how many Sprints do you see out there...???

But for now, it's the GTO that's getting all the attention (and $$) and it should be in color real soon. 136 days, 4 hours, 20 minutes and 50 seconds left to get it ready for the show... think I can do it?

At one point, I thought the Sprint would be the car of choice to take to the Nationals but I stuck with the GTO..

Oh, notice this thread started almost 5 years ago... long before I even had an OHC car.

[TedM]

I wonder if he still even has the 2 Tempest cars anymore? Doesn't Pete still live in Tappen?

[Niessen]

Doesn't Pete still live in Tappen?Nope. Look at the location listed.

You've been harassing the wrong guy.

[TedM]

That's mighty presumptuous of you Pete,which appears to be your nature. You had a different reply earlier. Refining?:) Did you ever stuff a 428 in that blue Tempest? Inquiring minds wanted to know.
