I originally happened upon the HAMB to build a HA/GR and the Trophy 4 was clearly the logical choice. convertible, 4 cylinder 195 cubic inch engine, automatic transmission, power convertible top, body is straight, paint. A handful of lucky bastards even got 421s, but that's another story. In '63 Pontiac upped the ante by offering thier 326 V-8, along with the Four of course.
Pontiac went to thinner wall blocks in '63, so if you're looking at building a Trophy 4, '61-2 blocks are stronger. Little known fact is in '62 there was a 184 HP NASCAR version of the Trophy 4 made, with 4-bolts mains, available over the counter only. A little over 1,000 were made with the 215 V-8. The Trophy 4 was available in 1-barrell and 4-barrell versions. Soon to follow was turbocharging, and even factory methanol injection to combat detonation.Īs stated above the Tempests could be had with the Trophy Four 194.5 inch motor in '62 or the 215 Buick aluminum V-8.

The engine was a 195 cubic inch (3.2 L) straight-4 6 marketed as the ' Trophy 4 ,' derived from the right cylinder bank of Pontiac's 389 cubic inch 'Trophy 8' V8 engine. 1961-1965 Pontiac (EXCEPT Tempest And LeMans) Front Coil Springs (1 Pair) 299.00.
