Greetings!

I am very excited to be the new owner of the 1111th Firebird ever off the line.

I have a couple of general questions.

The car came with a 400 from a '71 Catalina (although i am trying to locate the original engine, I hear it's in town and running!). When properly mounting the engine, should I use the mounts on the engine and adapt the frame, or use the '67 mounts? which is better?

Are there any other things, adaptations, pitfalls, surprises that I should be prepared for? btw, the tranny is a 400TH, the code says it's from a '78.

use the mounts that match the year of the car \ frame.

thanks. that makes more sense. the kid that i bought the car from used the '71 catalina mounts and it didn't look right.
