now im sure the kennedys will hate this because it only gets 7miles to the gallon, but thats just because it has 3 carbs,,, its going in my 1965 GTO ragtop!

I'm more of a Mopar man, but a tripower goat is very sweet.

I'll bet you can't wait until some kid pulls up next to you in one of those ridiculous little turbo-charged rice rockets!

There's something about the torque of a Pontiac engine that I love. They really kick you in the pants when you step on it.

Very nice....make sure you post some pics of the completed 65.

heres some more pics of the goat, i made a little website of pictures. i did all the plating on the carbs too, i used a gold chromate to make them look like gold,,

i just got done installing the pistons and im waiting to get the heads back from the shop now,, heres the link to the pics

seeya!

Looks nice!

What trans are you gonna run? A stick or TB400? Is this for the strip or track? What diff ratio? I work on cars for a living. I own a transmission shop. Just curious.... :>)

Mag

it was stock from the factory with a auto, it has a hydro400 in it now with a 3.90 posi rear. and its going to be my daily driver hehehehe i just basically hate new cars and im very unhappy when driving them,(noone looks at me). it also has a (068) grind cam and custom forged pistons.

im building my own chrome plating shop now, and will be doing plating for a living in a few months, i still need a few grand in tools etc, but its comming along.

i should have the motor in the car, in a few more weeks i cant wait!

seeya

And the big question? How many HP?

I have got a 67 belvedere that I eat rice cakes with. I especially like the brands honda and toyota

And again the question? How many HP in that belvedere?

Works for me, no riceburners at this house.

I'l be driving my '66 to Kikland Wa. this Saturday.

My 'turbocharged little rice rocket' runs mid-10's @ low 130 traps ... rotary power all the way!

But still, props to the Goat.

Years ago ... I had a 1970 GTO Turbo-hydromatic 'ragtop' with dual carbs ... and it was silver with a black interior.

Man ... I loved that car!

Nice Goat man! I have a chrome bullet vacuum guage, just like the one in page 4, in my garage. Always wondered what year Pontiac it went on.

Holy crap!

I just bought a new Volvo.

I've finally arrived at mediocracy.

I now own nothing of interest.

I feel old and sluggish.....boring....rather Walt Cleaver like.

There was a day when I would rather tune the carbs on a 440 six pack than to water the lawn.

My rollaway tool box looks sad ond lonely in the garage.

I can't use the garage for projects because my wife wants the "new" car in there.

Though shalt not covet thy neighbor's goat (GTO).
But I do.

Nice car you got there...perfect year and engine package...enjoy.

Meanwhile I am going out to the backyard and smoke some hemlock.

Top Ten Ways To Lose Your Muscle Car


1 GOT MARRIED That's the number ONE way to assure your beloved car will end up listed in the For Sale section of the classifieds. Will the prospective wife love your car as much as she does you? Many of my friends have reported that their wives made their rip-snortin muscle cars ENEMY #1 after the vows were said.


2 HAD KIDS The wedge between you and your awesome driving machine. There's nothing wrong with having kids, of course. But it almost guarantees you will be trading in that shiny pampered Poncho on a minivan.


3 INSURANCE TOO COSTLY Insurance will always be too costly. I have a theory about insurance companies. They have a secret formula for setting rates. Figure out how much the traffic will bear. Then add 15 percent.


4 RUST Usually unavoidable here in the midwest states I call the Rust Belt. They salt the roads during winter to melt snow. Salt + water + metal = rustout. It's kinda hard to sit in a car with no floorpans.


5 BAD GAS MILEAGE In the 70's and 80's, many of my friends traded in their big powerful muscle cars due to the high price of gasoline. That's a shame, especially when you look at today's relatively low price of gas.


6 COLLISION Mostly caused by driving while tipsy. There are way too many people who drive after drinking. I saw too many people in high school who would drink while driving. It's sad.


7 STUPIDITY These are the people who say: "I'm so STUPID to have sold that car! What was I thinking? I WISH I still had that car!" (They then smack their own forehead as a form of self-punishment)


8 LOST STORAGE We know what happens when Mom and Dad grow tired of seeing that engine-less GTO with no doghouse sitting in the driveway. It's outta here, man.


9 FORGETFULNESS I forget how to put this engine/transmission/whatever back together. Instead of asking for help, I'll SELL it quick.


10 LACK OF KNOWLEDGE Some people sold their muscle cars because they honestly did not know what a special car they owned. There was a guy who parted out a Royal Bobcat GTO, another who parted out a complete Yenko Camaro, and another guy who put felt flocking all over a Superbird before giving it away. They simply did not know what awesome valuable cars they had.

according to a recent poll conducted by Sean Mattingly

That Is A Great Looking ENGINE.
