Pontiac’s Overhead Cam Six
In 1966 Pontiac added an overhead cam six cylinder engine to the lineup. This engine was truly innovative, but at time when big cubic inch, high horsepower V-8 engines where becoming all the rage, the “Cammer” had a short and undistinguished life. Gone after the 1969 model year the engine found homes in Tempests and Firebirds.
You can find out more about the engine and its history at GM by going to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/658053. This is a great site and tells about Deloren and the cammer when Pontiac was coming up fast in the muscle car world.
Two basic versions were available. One was a lower performance engine for fuel economy and the other, the Sprint, was a quadrajet carbed performance engine. We are looking for parts or all either of these engines, and transmissions to go with them.
In today’s car scene everyone has seen a small block crate engine in almost every possible conversion. I’m thinking that some of the older Pontiacs and Chevys might be real cool with a "Cammer."
Anyway, if you have any parts or whole engines, maybe even a parts car, let us know. We may be interested. Call Al @ 402-719-6293 or email al@creativeclassiccars.com---- Thanks for looking.
