Great to see some coverage on the early Tempest/Lemans in last month's junk yard crawl. Here is one that runs.
I bought it a couple of years ago with a SB Chevy in.
It now has a Pontiac 400 with a 4 bolt main. It is all Pontiac with a Compcams roller cam and valvetrain. The rearend is a 9 inch hung on ladder bars. I have had three runs on it so far. I plan on getting into the 11.90 range with some tuning and practice.
