Pontiac engines are awesome, and always have been, and are arguably responsible for the muscle cars we know and love. Even a 350 cubic incho Poncho is a worthy build and if you haven’t seen one, or any other Pontiac V8, there are some unique things going on with them. Check out this cool video from Richard Holdener as he sees if this one will run before adding parts to make real power.
Video Description:
Pontiac Power! 1969 Pontiac 350-Will it run? This was a motor I purchased from a friend who said they thought it ran, but maybe not well! I brought it down to Westech Performance and hoped for the best! The first start up was not promising! Couple of dead holes-so it was time to figure things out! Check out the video where I covered how I went about solving the issues and what happened when we finally made some noise! How much power does a low compression, mild cam 350 Poncho motor actually make? What happens when you start to tune it?
