But if one needs more, a '58-'60 370 or 389 bolts-in and can deliver another easy 100 H.P.  Want to corner level?  A 3rd generation ('82-'87) Trans-Am sway bar bolts-in (minor welding).  Want to stop?  Add Kevlar (space shuttle) brake shoes (Muscle-car Brakes (972) 623-1589), 235x75 R-15 Radials run at 35 PSI and to maintain easy steering a padded steering wheel cover.  To help build your Poncho right the first time an effort bringing 50+ years of stock Pontiac experience into one place is in the works.

Bone stock 3.08 geared '55 sedans delivered 24 MPG regularly.  Stock-parts built '56 chieftain wagons have been towing my cars since 1970, gross loads totaling 12,000 lb not unusual.  These cars could do it all.  Respect Pontiac's accomplishment of building a truly great old car.
