Just in case there's any confusion about the Pontiac engine here are some specs:
8 cylinder
2 Barrel carb
Valves In Block (that means it's a flathead)
3 3/8 bore x 3 3/4 stroke
268.2 cubic inches
6.5/1 compression ratio
108 @ 3600 rated hp
220 @ 2200 rated torque
Built, at best, for it's torque characteristics. If you spent a long ton of money you "maybe-could" double the gross horse power and increase the torque some. Wahoo!!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
