In the fall of of 68 I ordered a 1969 Firebird Sprint. That summer I took it to Cordova Dragway Park to test it. I was put in "MS" class according to HP, weight and manual 3 speed transmission. The other four cars were 327, 4 speed Chevys. I would leave them the first half of the track but they would eventually catch me. I should have spent the extra $100 for the 4 speed option. After several winters in northwest Illinois, the body started to rust out. I removed the engine and transmission, then hade the body hauled off, at that time body parts were scarce. The engine is now sitting in a 62 Nova 4 door waiting to be finished after 2 moves. I do have pictures if I can figure out how to attach them. The engine still runs hard, it was rebuilt several years ago. It had 3 sets of broken rings so I had it bored .060. The top end has not been off since then, I had to move the oil sump and pickup to the middle to fit into the Nova.
There is a video of that engine running on an engine stand, go to Google Video and type " Pontiac OHC ". It is part way down the page listed as "1969 Pontiac OHC engine".
