sour455tempest's 1965 Pontiac TempestThe photo of my car with the hood open is my favorite photo I have. It was the first car show I entered my car in and I took best in class. My car looks so mean being a black car, but it looks dirty after driving two feet from my garage!

NICE ASS END! sour455tempest's 1965 Pontiac TempestLove that stance on mine, one of my uncles cars, 64' Tempest wagon. sour455tempest's 1965 Pontiac TempestAfter a spring Pontiac gathering. sour455tempest's 1965 Pontiac TempestLooks a little dirty, but a nice shot. This is a shot of the 326 that was in it. I just dropped in a 73' 455(462)block in June. The rotating assembly was balanced, .030 over  Speed -pro Forged pistons, Eagle forged rods. All block work was done by Tirys race engines out of Ripon Wisconsin. Everything was properly gone through. It has a Comp cam Xtreme energy cam. New Melling oil pump, and new oil pan. My Edelbrock performer intake went back on topped by a rebuilt Holley DP. The heads are bone stock 6X's . Head work will be done down the road. For now the stock rockers were used. Roller tips hopefully in the near future. Comp cams valve springs.  New ceramic coated "original" Dougs headers followed by a 3" Magnaflow kit with a "tru-X" pipe. Sounds great, runs great. turbo 400 tranny w/TCI converter rebuilt 2 years ago. 3.36 POSI Pontiac 10 bolt rear. The first year I owned the car I put on roughly 4,000 miles. Such a fun car to drive and to work on.

What a great restoration! I had a 65' Goat, and this really reminds me of that car, which was my favorite car ever. Yours is very clean, and you could eat of that engine. Five*****
