    I perfer pontaic aover the chevy. The chevy would be less expensive to build and could have chheper HP. I feel the pontaic is a stronger motor from the start. The Transmissions have different bolt paterns so you want to watch that. the chevy has a different pattern than the BOP/C. Here is why I prefer the Pontiac...
    Can you rebuild a Qjet without breaking a nail?

    I would stick with the Poncho, but it's your car...

    Like Larissa said you could build the Chevy cheaper, but seems like Chevy's are getting so commonplace.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
