Jerry Stanic Photo by Jerry Stanic P a g e 4 Alberta Iron Indians Pontiac Club Poncho Paper Pontiac Race News As the summer nights get cooler and the kids are all getting back to school the racing side begins to slow down and our cars are getting ready for the winter season. Some Racing updates from some of our members. Susan and Charles Forgere took their 1968 Firebird and Raced in Medicine Hat on the August 8th weekend running mid 11s. John Dampf last had his 1970 GTO at Castrol Raceway at the end of July but is preparing for the SIR Wally Event Sept 14th in Saskatoon. I will also be racing in Saskatoon in the Sportsman Class that same weekend. With a light month on the racing circuit, I went into the archives and wanted to inform members on Pontiac Engines that started the drag racing craze and how far technology has advanced with today‘s engines. The Super Duty 421 was the baddest of all the engines in 1962 and 1963, won more trophy‘s than the 409 Chevrolet, 426 Max Wedge and 406 Fords. We don‘t get to see these engines very often and when you do, spend some time looking at the achievements the engineers at Pontiac created. The Super Duty 421 The 421 Super Duty took Pontiac's very successful 389 and made it bigger all the way around. They increased the bore by 0.030 inch to 4.093 inches and added a 0.250 inch to the stroke for a total of 4.0 inches. The first 421 Super Duty appeared as a dealer- installed engine in 1961, followed as optional engines for the Catalina‘s and, of course, the SD 421 Tempests in 1963. In that year, there were three different Super Duty 421configu- rations. Cont.

Adding another carburetor to the same engine pushed the second version to 405 hp. Pontiac's big dog in the factory horsepower hunt retained the twin four-barrel induction but added another point of squeeze to 13:1. Rated at a ridiculously conser- vative 410 hp (500–550 hp is more realistic), this engine was intended for drag racing. All SD engines were equipped with forged crankshafts, forged pistons, and 3.250-inch main journal diameters, increased over the 389's already large 3.00-inch journals. Rod journals re- mained the standard Pontiac size of 2.250 inch. Four-bolt main caps were also standard. Iron Super Duty cylinder heads (the 980 head carried the late 1962 and 1963 casting number, while earlier 1962 engines received 127 heads) and to keep the inlet air temperatures cooler, both units were built without the usual heat-riser passage. All SDs also came with one of three mechanical lifter camshafts, referred to as McKellar cams, in reference to Pontiac chief power plant engineer Malcolm "Mac" McKellar, who was responsible for their lobe designs. McKellar also designed not just camshafts but also oversaw the creation of the SOHC inline-six and many of the exotic DOHC engines that Pontiac experimented with in the late 1960s. The Super Duty 421 engines also spawned a number of interesting factory-inspired performance components. If you were connected to the pipeline in 1963, you might have scored one of per- haps as many as 40 or 50 two-piece "bathtub" tunnel ram intakes cast by Pontiac.
