I remember the Pontiac OHC 6 from my days working at the Dealership after school.  Always wondered about one of these in an Early. Easy swap and a possible 250HP but I guess finding one would be expensive.

Ahhh, I really have a place in my heart for in line six engines. I love them. Every since my old neighbors father had an old Chevy 2 wagon with a 6 cyl. It had headers and a 4 barrel. Loved it.

The 2.5L Buick "Iron Duke" engine was a good one. Noisey but reliable.
