I've already mentioned this one. But, since it is a '68, I'll mention it again & post more pics.

This is a rather unique combo. There are lots of earlier Pontiac engines running in later model GM bodies, under the GT rules.

But, this '68 bird is running a '74 350 Pontiac, with #46 heads.

So, if Larry Maxwell had Bill Rink's 350 engine, he could run it in his '68 Bird, in the same GT class he's running.

As mentioned, Larry's car is not real quick. I'm assuming that's because he doesn't wanna have to run big tires. A low power 350 should work great with 9" slicks. I just assume that his car is a former Stocker. Anybody know it's history ?

But, for anybody who wanted to, they could run the alum head 428, 455HO, or the popular '74 or '77 400 engines, or any other Pontiac V8. Obviously, bigger tires might be needed for the biggest engines.
