HOW TO REBUILD PONTIAC
V-8S - UPDATED EDITION
By Rocky Rotella
From
SA Design "WORKBENCH HOW-TO" Series
Restore your Pontiac V-8
engine to original factory performance and specifications in this revised
edition of a Pontiac best seller.
Under the guidance of
Semon "Bunkie" Knutson, John DeLorean, and a host of creative and
innovative people, Pontiac established its own identity and distinct V-8 engine
platform under the GM banner. In 1955, Pontiac's V-8 started out at a meager 287
ci, but it was an auspicious beginning to an illustrious line of engines. The
potent powerplant grew and evolved over the coming decades; which included the
389 Tri-Power, 421, Ram Air IV 400, 428, and the Super Duty 455. These V-8s
powered a number of legendary cars, including the GTO, Firebird, Trans-Am, and
many others.
In this updated edition,
longtime Pontiac expert Rocky Rotella guides the reader through the entire
rebuild process. Drawing on his vast experience, Rotella uses detailed captions
and explanatory photos to show each crucial step of the disassembly,
inspection, machine work, parts selection, assembly, and break-in process. This
book instructs the reader how to skillfully pull the engine and prevent damage
to the car.
It documents how to carefully
inspect the components for problems and fix these issues that could spell doom
for a newly rebuilt engine. Finding a reputable and professional machine shop
that specializes in Pontiac engines is discussed, as well as aftermarket parts
and OEM parts interchange for high performance so you can select the best parts
for a particular engine. All essential machine shop procedures are covered in
detail.
Also included is a new
chapter on casting numbers and parts compatibility.
Most important, as with
all Workbench series titles, the methodical and practical approach provides the
insight and vital information required for the task. This, the first-ever book
dedicated to rebuilding the Pontiac V-8 engine, is a valuable addition to any
Pontiac enthusiast's library.
