[Shotimes] OT Daytona 24hrs good

[Donald Mallinson]

They do that (different heads) in NASCAR, but I have no idea 
what they did in the Daytona 24 hour race.

I still like it when Pontiac wins, but for the Pontiac 
purist, the last REAL pontiac engine was in the 70's.

But since that is what we have to work with, I can accept 
the "Chevy/Pontiac/Buick/Cadillac" V8 as long as the brand 
Pontiac doesn't go the way of Olds and Plymouth.  And there 
are still plenty of 389's, 421's, 400's and 455's to play 
with in old cars.

Heck, one outfit just brought out a REAL Pontiac block (same 
basic architecture as the 389/421 etc) in ALL ALUMINUM for 
the hard core racer.  There were some advantages to those 
blocks that you don't get with a 350 small block or 454 big 
block Chevy engine.
