Guys,
It is hard to believe how much these Pontiac heads look like the Ford 302 Tunnel Port heads. It seems Pontiac "Borrowed" the idea from Ford, which doesnt make a lot of sense since Ford had problems with this head configuration in 1968. SCCA rules required any race application engine to be a street unit, although Ford had everyone convinced the Tunnel Port was being released to the public, even a magazine cover showed a street version testing against a Z28, Ford never actually released a street version due to ongoing problems with the head configuration for street use. The SCCA let Ford finish the season with the engine and that was it. They then went to the Boss engine. So why would Pontiac copy a design that proved to be troublesome for both street and racing applications? If anyone is interested I can post some photos of the Ford heads, with the exception of a small difference in exhaust port design they are almost identical.
Thanks,
