No motor change for the Pontiacs, for whatever reason the 1961 Tempest was left out of eligible vehicles. The 1961 and 1962 are almost identical, the 1961 was the first Tempest that ever received a big motor. (Raced FX Class) BTW, it wasn't until 1963 that you could get the 326ci in the Tempest, 421 Super Duty for drag racing both using transaxles. From the outside of all the blocks, the 326ci, 389ci, 421ci and 455ci all have the same block dimensions.
Anyone that has questions regarding the Pontiac's, let me know, I have old pictures and stories of these cars.
