Arnie Beswick at the 1998 NHRA Hot Rod Reunion

My fondest memory of drag racing is Arnie beating a field full of hemi's. Guys this was in the 60's, don't remember much else :-)

If you would know anything about Arnie then you would know that he would not run anything but Pontiac.

Tell me he is not running rat motors in his pontiacs, Because to me that is a farce. He is a fake, and i will be very disappointed in supporting him through the years. Looks to me like a big block chev. Pontiac is narrow and tall...

@ghm389 I work at Cordova Dragway Park and one of the tech guys does work for his cars and they are 100% pontiac motors...unfornatally lol i'm a ford fan if ya cant tell lol

@FordIowaBoy25 Not ALL Beswick's engines are 100% Pontiac, some are based on the Chevy "big block". The new '64 (looking) "Tameless Tiger" has a Chevy "big block" bottom end and "Big Chief" heads.

@ghm389 Pontiac produced the so called "big block Chevrolet" engine in its original form for testing and evaluation in '61 and '62, then the head of Pontiac engineering took the design with him when he moved to Chevy Division. Pontiac produced their OWN Pro Stock heads, intakes, and many other special "Pontiac only" parts to fit the Chevy block not too many years ago. That's why Pontiac RULED Pro Stock for several years - the horsepower of their heads and intakes beat the Chevy parts by a load!

Pontiac made the most beautiful cars ever, bar none.
