Default Re: Pontiacs

I've mentioned that there have been a few 301 Turbo Birds that ran pretty good.

But, I only know of one 301 non-turbo Pontiac Stocker. It is a '79 Lemans. Belongs to Billy Nees. Don Himes drove it for a few years.

I'll have to class it as another one-of-a-kind Pontiac Stocker. There may have been others. If so, I'm not aware of it. Billy will know.

Some may not be aware that the 301 4-barrel engines came with an 800cfm Q-jet carb. From what I've read, the weak links in the 301 are the block & the crank. The 301T blocks & cranks are said to be stronger than the non turbo blocks/cranks. I've also read that most all '80 & '81 301 engines used a 301T block, even it was not turbo equipped. All the 301T parts are getting hard to find. So, a 301 is probably not a good engine to use for a new Stocker build.
