[Shotimes] Pontiac unveils SHO successor?

[Ron Porter]

I don't believe that either of the old 326 or 327 engines have anything in
common with the new GM Vortec engines. All of the unique Pontiac V8 engines
died back in the '70s, anyway.

The Pontiac 326 is a different engine than the Chevy 327. It dates back to
the days
when GM's divisions each had distinctively different engines, even if
displacements
were the same or close.
