Default Pontiac Xram SCCA engine

Not a Chevy but thought members would be interested that Pontiac had a Xram short deck engine for the 69 season.Tom

Beautiful piece!!! Would have been a street piece if the SCCA hadn't stiffed Pontiac on the production figures at the last minute.

Just a note, your sticker should say Traco, not Tarco

Are those carbs the 4295's that were also used on the GM crossram?
No choke plates and dual accelerator pumps.

Neither Tarco or Traco. It was Al Bartz that built the Firebird engines for SCCA Trans-Am in '69.

Actually the factory engineering built 25 303 SCCA engines complete with exhaust manifolds and smog pumps carb to pan.They were not allowed to compete with them in the short deck version as they needed 100 to be allowed.
The carbs are the same as the Chevy 302s.If you look at the intake from the top you can see how the carbs nest together.Tom
