Pontiac's upmarket version of
Chevrolet's Camaro pony-car appeared in mid-1967. Brought to market as the
pride of John DeLorean’s Pontiac, the original Firebird offered deluxe
accoutrements, in addition competitive pony-car performance.
From
1967 to 68, Firebird offered an unusual single-overhead-camshaft inline six, available with a 4-bbl. carburetor in Sprint models. Pontiac's 326- and 400-cid
engines comprised the V-8 offerings.
Firebird
was little changed for ’68, with deleted vent windows and added side-marker
lamps among its minor updates. A redesigned SOHC six was touted, while the
mid-year 340-hp Ram Air II 400 V-8 reigned as the year's most powerful engine.
The Chevrolet ZZ4 High Output
(HO) 350 crate engine - is one
of GM’s most popular high performance crate engines. Its legendary status is based on an incredible
performance level that is stone cold reliable. Chevy packed the ZZ4 HO with a
forged steel crankshaft, hypereutectic pistons, hydraulic roller camshaft and
lifters, and aluminum cylinder heads. The ZZ4 HO’s Corvette-derived
high-performance heads feature high velocity intake runners and D-shaped
exhaust ports to promote efficient and unobstructed flow through the
engine—providing strong power and torque at all RPM levels.
The ZZ4 HO also features an
aluminum dual-plane intake manifold, HEI distributor, cast iron water pump, damper, and flex-plate. The ZZ4 HO also includes an accessory drive package, fuel pump, chrome air cleaner kit, Holley 750-cfm carburetor, starter, and
spark plug wires.
The ZZ4 HO comes with a full 355 horsepower and 405 lb.-ft. of torque
matching Pontiac’s 1968 H.O. “The Boss”, the most powerful 1st
generation Firebird.
