YOU LOSE.

In the 1960"s Pontiac  had the reputation for the fastest cars on the strip and on the street starting with the 1964 Lemans GTO option. Ace Wilsons Royal Pontiac mechanics including Milt Schornack would tune your pontiac with go fast parts. You could order the Bobcat kit by mail and install it yourself  or drive to Detroit and have it done for you. Performance parts were the order of the day. You could order 421 heads for your 389 engine or change it over to a 421 completely. In 1968 the 428 big car engine would be installed for about 650.00 with the exchange of the original 400 engine. I spoke to Milt Schornack at the 2006 GTO Nationals and he only remembers a few 428's installed in 68. Arnie Beswick had one called the "Bossman" that terrorized the quarter mile tracks for years. No decals or paint were applied to make it look fast because they were fast with nothing to prove. Only a few were installed with a 428 and I wanted one, so I had to build it.
