Project R begins 04.26.08

[69MyWay]

UPDATE -----

Our friend Mike Knowles' Vintage Motion vintagemotion.tripod.com along with parts substantially donated from www.competitionproducts.com stepped up in a HUGE way and donated time, parts...and all resources to build a killer Pontiac 400 with full roller cam and 6x heads for Project R.

We had the original Poncho 350 and a spare one donated. However, there were issues that couldn't be over come easily using those mils. Mike and Rob located a 400 on Craigslist and after telling the seller about the project were given a 50% discount on it. With that in hand and the spare parts from the other motors they moved forward. Rob found a nice aluminum intake and Holley on ebay that nobody else bid on...so they scored it on the cheap. We have an HEI and a few other things to make this happen.

The engine will be ready to install very soon. The body is coming along. I have an amazing team of volunteers and generous sponsors - venders that have made this a possibility in a time of financial difficulties.

It is amazing how faith in action works. Our next land mark will be to display the car at a show in Bartow, Florida on March 7/8. We hope to have the engine in it then and the whole body in primer - hood and all.

ANYBODY with spare Pontiac parts (still need a driver side door glass) such as motor mounts, water pump...(CASH DONATIONS WORK TOO) - Please contact us.

Here is the motor:
