Excerpt from Wiki: Overhead Cam An overhead cam design was adopted by Pontiac in the 1966 model year. The block was based on the Chevrolet Straight-6, but had block and head castings unique to the OHC. Both head and block were cast iron; only the large cam carrier/valve cover was aluminum. The engine featured a Single Over Head Cam and was the base engine in the Pontiac Tempest. The Pontiac OHC-6 engine shared internal dimensions with the standard 230-cubic-inch (3.8 L) Chevrolet I6 block. The OHC head design put it in the avant-garde of Detroit engineering. The single camshaft was supported by journals within the aluminum valve cover; no separate bearing shells were used. The cam was driven by a glass fiber-reinforced cogged rubber belt, instead of the usual metal chain or gears, making it state of the art for the time, as well as very quiet. Valves were opened with finger followers (centered under the cam) that pivoted at one end on stationary hydraulic adjusters. The oil pump, distributor drive and fuel pump drive were not within the block, but were handled by an external jackshaft in an aluminum housing that bolted to the right side of the block. The jackshaft was driven by the rubber timing belt. The head had a single port face (exhaust and intake were both on the left side) and the valve stems were strongly tilted towards the left. This engine was used on the 1966 through 1969 Tempest and Le Mans and the 1967 through 1969 Firebird. A high-performance version, called the Sprint, was an option. The Sprint featured high-compression pistons, a hotter cam, dual valve springs, a split/dual exhaust manifold, a better coil and utilized the then new Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. It was the first American high-performance in-line six-cylinder engine since the 1954 Chevrolet Corvette. Pontiac Overhead Cam Six engineThe Pontiac OHC-6 engine ended production with the 1969 models. Like other Pontiac engines of the era, it was not available in Canada; Canadian Pontiac automobiles came with the Chevrolet OHV six instead, although the Sprint version of the Firebird was available with the OHC engine. [edit] 230 The 230 OHC-6 engine was produced in 1966 and 1967. Power output was rated at 165 bhp (123 kW) from a displacement of 230-cubic-inch (3.8 L). The high-performance Sprint version produced 207 bhp (154 kW). The 1967 version of the sprint produced 215 hp [edit] 250 1968 Pontiac OHC 250 1bblThe 250ci Engine (4.1L) replaced the 230ci (3.8L) from 1968 to 1969. The base engine produced 175 hp while the Sprint versions were rated up to 215 hp with an automatic transmission. The versions with a manual transmission received a hotter camshaft which boosted the horsepower ratings to 230 hp. This is why I recommended the 1/25 Pontiac OHC six...the BLOCK would look the same as a Chevy 250cid as installed in the '69 & '77 Camaros, just the head/valve cover would need to be changed.

Very nice also Joe!

NICE!!!

Good stuff! I especially like the AMT '72 Nova that's "being worked on"...
