wow that's sounding sweet. And retained the ole Dualjet, really interesting build. It is the nicest 301 I've seen yet.

I can't believe somebody built one but I have no problems the 301 engine I had one in a 77 Grand Prix that basically got 20 miles a gallon and I drove it at 100 miles an hour most of the time I lived in the country with straight roads deep South you know. terrible acceleration and I remember the gears were so high I'd go 50 and first even though it only revved like 4,000 RPM.

The valve covers are worth more than the entire engine.

C'mon Tim, I admire you for your knowledge of Pontiac engines and the epic debate you got into with a chevy guy on another video, but the 301 isn't really that bad. The 80 and 81 blocks were supposed to be pretty strong and they were all very reliable and durable. I have one in a 80 TA. It runs really well no problems and not much difference in my 76 400 TA. The 301 is also good on gas. There is a guy who put a set of Kauffman heads on a 301 and modified an intake to fit. It's pretty bad ass

With all Pontiac motors having the same external dimensions, why would you put any money into a 301 ? It was the worst engine ever made by Pontiac. Unless it is for a matching original car in which case you don't have the turbo. What you do is get a 400 and put a modified 455 crank in it and bam 461 ci .

I heard that pontiacs are expensive, I bought a 1980 pace car trans am with the 301 and I am conflicted on what to do with the drivetrain.

There are lots of reasons someone would want to build a 301 but there are zero reasons to shit on someone for what they choose do with their own car.

@@matthewklein9225 I am going to rebuild the turbo and do methanol injection to cool the air fuel mixture, repair other things that need to be done repaint the engine and engine compartment, and after I do all that the car is going to get bodywork and paint done.
