Default Poncho's

Best advice I was ever told about Poncho motors is " They take twice as much money to make the same power as a chevy" Take it like a grain of salt but look at some prices..

Chevvey's are revvers, Poncho's are torquemonsters.
2 totally different platforms.

It's true to modern standards.

Just imagine if Pontiac kept kept making S.D.s until their demise.
They would've been monsters!!!!

It was even cooler after I pulled the intake and cam and got a good look down in the valley. Nice twisted mess of forged eagle rods and two huge holes in the oil pan. They actually bumped the pan out so far I couldn't fit the starter out between the pan and headers anymore lol.

Yep, never got around to spraying that motor. Blew that one up even after building it right and caring for it properly.


I think I'm back to wailing on junkyard bottom ends. A cam, some boost, and they seem to make almost as much power and live forever lol.
