and saw that the 75-79 Novas came with a straight six. Has anyone tried that combo?

Hey Billy, you know of anybody who has ever tried an OHC Pontiac straight six, which had a 750 Q-jet ?

Believe-it-or-not, a friend of mine who has wanted to do one of those for a long time finally came to his senses and threw it all in the scrap. the better one would be the 67 230 but at 215 HP, it wouldn't be very cheap or easy. There's more than a few much better Pontiac combos out there.
