First is the same truck as above with a Halloween theme then a couple pics of the last one that I followed the build on.

I have only seen one and that was at a Good Guys show a couple of years ago. When those engines came out I was very interested in the technology and read everything I could about them. Here in the higher elevations everyone wanted V8 power so I don't think too many sold here so all I saw were the photos in the articles about them.

That was one of many hp ratings The 215 hp version was the W53 Sprint version for Firebirds only. Tempests got the 1 barrel 165 hp one, then in 1968 the displacement increased from 230 to 250 ci and horsepower went to 175 for the 1 barrel and 215 for the Sprint with automatic and the sticks got the 230 hp version. GM must have been doing their under rating thing again because the 1967 230 ci Sprint was rated at 215 hp just like the 250 that came out in 1968. The W53 along with the 4 barrel had higher compression and a hotter cam.

There were several versions of the Poncho SOHC 6. There were 2 displacements a 230 and a 250. The 230 with the single barrel carb made a whopping 165 hp and the hottest 250 with the 4 barrel made 230 hp.

In a Firebird maybe, but a Camaro, I don't think so.
