We have a slightly warmed over 1970 455 in our '72 Lemans Sport. It's rated at 360 hp and 500 ft/lb of torque. It feels much like our old L72 Chevelle motor in the low and mid range. I can only imagine the same car with a 455 HO. The Pontiacs are much overlooked but can make quite a decent performer on the street.

April 1971 is picture date. Morning after I picked up car. It was a special order by me. Lived in Kodiak, AK at the time. About 125 miles on car. Attached picture is October 1971 in Freemont, CA across the freeway from where it was built. no tune up, junk in the trunk, later found out no HO cam just 4bbl cam still mph'd at 104. Really bad run as I had never raced at the track before. Just some of that stop light grand prix.
No cid call outs as factory made mistake. Here is another one from same era. Yes, it is in my possession undergoing restoration. 455HO, 4 speed, posi, sport suspension, carpets, ralley guages w/clock, dual exhaust (only required option), vinyl interior and AM radio as we only had AFRTS available there. I am on the road and had troubles logging on so sorry for the delay in the reply. I think if you do a search under my user name or T-37 you can find more info/pictures.
