===370=== For 1958 the V8's bore was increased again to {{cvt|4+1/16|in|mm|1}}, increasing displacement to {{cvt|369.4|cuin|L|1}}. The engine was dubbed the TEMPEST V-8, a nickname it retained until the end of 1960. The fuel-injected engine became an option on any Pontiac model, carrying a staggering price tag of $500 (almost 15% of the car's base price). It was rated at {{cvt|310|hp|0}} at 4800 rpm and {{cvt|400|lbft|0}} at 3,000 rpm on 10.5:1 compression. Only about 400 were produced before the fuel injection system was quietly dropped.
