Project Poor Man

[Wacker]

Project Poor Man is a 1972 Pontiac LeMans post coupe.

I am early in my build but slowly getting there. I bought the car a couple years ago and within owning it I blew two connecting rods and decided to build bigger and better.

The car went off to the shop for the car and motor was built while I was on deployment



The result is a 468 stroker that is streetable and still makes a respectable amount of power.
She has:

Forged Eagle Stroker Kit
Ported Aluminum KRE D-Port Heads
Port matched Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake
March Serpentine Belt Conversion
Flow Kooler Water Pump









The engine is backed by a TCI TH-400 with a 2800 stall and a Quick Performance 9 Inch rear with Eaton TruTrac Differential and 3.50 gears.

To the ground the car makes a respectable 404hp/442tq.



The stock gauges were replaced with Dakota Digital VHX gauges that are back lit with red LEDs
