Have a good looking engine and a good day.

The 2nd one looks nicer, but does not have the valve cover detailing. Sold from 1966-1969 available in the LeMans and the Firebird.

This engine is also in the LeMons Opel GT Pontiac Banshee:

one of many examples of the US auto industry trying to move forward, only to have it fail because customers wouldn’t pay for it.

Why you gotta bring up the dark times, man.

Every time I see a I6 in an engine bay with lots of space I think “you could stuff a v-12 in there.”

Actually an appropriate use of the name, since it was Pontiac’s compact car at the time. This car is meh car Monday worthy, but probably so boring I wouldn’t read about it.

And here’s an engine to balance those out!

Built by Daewoo for Pontiac, apparently.

If that ain’t a winning combination...

Your engine seems a little slanted.

It’s a V12, but I could only make payments on half

Love an OHC 6.

In another universe where I lived in the States, my big project would absolutely be a ‘67 Firebird with a built OHC 6 and the transaxle from a Mk2 Corvair so you’ve got an OHC 6 transaxled IRS pony car :)

I have never realized it before but the thermostat housing seems to be in the valve cover. And I only see one large hose so I guess the coolant is actually routed through the cover.

I had a four door 67 Tempest with that motor and a one barrel. Powerglide transmission. The motor was surprisingly strong once we put a replacement cam in and dialed everything in. This was the mid 80e and I learned a ton about cars from the tempest. I would buy another in s minute.
