What engines did Pontiac offer in 1969?

Pontiac offered a wide variety of engines in 1969, depending on the model. Here's a breakdown of the common engine options:

* Inline-6: The venerable 230 cubic inch inline-six was a base engine in some models.

* V8s: This is where Pontiac really shined. They offered a range of V8s, including:

* 350 CID: A relatively small-block V8, often used as a mid-range option.

* 400 CID: A larger, more powerful small-block V8, a popular choice across the lineup. This was offered in several variations with different horsepower ratings depending on carburetion and other factors.

* 428 CID: This was a big-block V8 and came in several configurations, including the legendary Ram Air versions (Ram Air III and IV) which were extremely high-performance options.

* 455 CID: The largest engine Pontiac offered in 1969, this big-block also came in various configurations, with HO (High Output) versions for serious power.

It's important to note that the exact engine offerings varied depending on the specific Pontiac model (Tempest, GTO, Firebird, LeMans, Bonneville, etc.) and trim level. Some models offered only certain engine choices, while others had a wider range of options available. Horsepower ratings also varied within each engine displacement based on the specific configuration.
