If this intake is going on your 84 pontiac, and it has the stock engine (or stock replacement), then you have a chevy engine, dont worry about it. When the bodystyle changed in 82, they used chevy engines in the pontiacs too.

Right, you do not have a Pontiac motor. The only Pontiac stuff is trim and stickers on the body.

It's a GM body, if you want to look at it that way; you could just buy it with either Chevy trim as a Camaro, or Pontiac trim as a Firebird. And the only V8 engine that it could be equipped with, from the factory, was a Chevrolet small block. The Pontiac V8 was discontinued after about 81 in ALL body styles.
