Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers

[oldskool]

I think somebody mentioned Robert Cruzen's 428 powered Cobalt, which has run some high 8 sec passes.

That alum head 428 is quite popular, in GT cars. Since the 428 was not available in an A or F body, I don't know of anybody running a 428, except in GT. But, since a 428 was available in a '69 GP, I assume that maybe somebody ran one of those, somewhere back in the old days. Anybody know of a non-GT car running a 428 ?

Here are pics of Robert's car as well as Todd Frantz's Cobalt. Don't know how many non-Pontiac bodies are now running the Pontiac 428 engine.

The GT rules allow LOTS of different combos. I like the idea of being able to run the older engines in later model bodies. Just curious. For you guys who were in SS, back when they came up with the GT rules, was there a lot pushback from the regular SS guys ? And, exactly what year did the GT rules go into effect ?
