Just joined my first Pontiac forum. 

 

I'm Brent Lykins, I own Lykins Motorsports, near Louisville, KY.  I've been professionally building Ford engines for a long time and just felt the need to see what it's like on the other side of the fence....hahaha

 

I've never been a fan of "cookie cutter" cars and builds and generally like to go the road less traveled.  My first car was an '86 Pontiac Fiero GT and one of my dream cars is a '73 Trans Am. 

 

I'm in the machine work stage of a 400 build that will also include ported Edelbrock heads, a Victor intake, a custom solid flat tappet camshaft.  I will probably start an engine build thread after I get familiar with how things work here. 

 

Looking forward to being assimilated and will try to help with the engine side of things as much as I can here.

Congrats for seeing the light and checking out Pontiac

 

Got an pics of the build thus far?

No sir, not yet.  Block should be honed and square decked in the next week or so.  Heads are done, Edelbrocks with Manley Raceflo valves, moving about 325 cfm at this point.  Intake has not been ported yet. 

 

Using a factory crankshaft, coupled with some Scat 7.100" H-beam rods and a set of Racetec forged pistons, using a 1.5/1.5/3mm ring pack.

 

We were not set up to do Poncho work....had to buy a BHJ torque plate along with some dyno headers. 

welcome to FP!
