Definately a nice '79. One of the handful of them with custom engine bays. Looks real good!

Whats your plans for the Firebird?

If the price difference is feasable for you, I'd go fuel injected over carbed.


And on the olds block. What made your dad choose an olds?

the car came with a 403 and the guy down the road had a regal with a 455 just sitting so i asked about it and well 400$ later we had a 455 the nwe added boltons but the motor ended up spinning like 4 bearings at the track so he limped it home and that winter had it all rebuilt with keith black pistons 10 1/5 to 1 comp 1.5 roller rockers a .496 .520 lift cam edelbrock intake and heads ext and the chrome came yr after yr for like 4 years now its time to go with a bigger roller cam, bigger carb and get the heads done for a good rwhp increase by the way on the engine dyno it had 500 ft lbs at 1500 rpm and kept above 450 till the redline its sick has a full 3in exaust too so it sounds good too
