There is an ebay auction on a 69 firebird with a chevy 400 in it. Call the owner and ask him what he had to do

Mike, will that work as well for second generation firebirds? I have some of the old Peterson publishing Engine Swapping manuals and noticed that in one of them where a Chevy was swapped into a 71 Firebird, they claimed that the cross member for the Firebird was different than the Camaro of the same year. 'made myself a mental note of that because I had always heard the frames were the same.

richard, in my experience the subframes are the same basic structure. the crossmembers may differ slightly but i have yet to run into one that would not work. novas make dandy parts cars in this area because the are usually rotted beyond repair. mike

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
