ZD 6 Cylinder Overhead Cam: WANTED
I'm looking for an engine as a present for my dad's 1967 Firebird. I am not very familiar with cars or engines but I will give you the basics of what i know and hopefully someone can help me out! The car is a Sprint convertible that came with a specific build code on the engine, i believe the code was available on the Firebird and the Tempest. The engine I am looking for is a 6 Cylinder Overhead Cam with a "ZD" build code. I am not sure if they are hard to find or maybe even impossible to find, but if anyone here has one or could point me in the direction of where i might be able to find one, i would appreciate it! He has been looking for this particular engine for a long time but he isn't very internet savvy so i thought i would sneak in and try to help him out as a surprise.
He got the car in high school (umpteen years ago!) and his cousin that owned a wrecking yard accidentally crushed the engine block when it was supposed to be getting repaired (twenty years ago). Don't ask me how that happened, all i know is that my dad STILL holds a grudge against him. Thank you for any information you can give me, it would mean a lot to him and I both if we could track a good one down. "Dorothy" |

Where are you located? Do you happen to know the build date of the car?

I am located in Kansas City, but the car is actually 60 miles west of Wichita, KS. I would have to ask him about the build date, I'm not sure, but if it's necessary I won't hesitate to ask him.

Hi Dorothy!
Welcome to PY, you can find just about any information or parts that you may need for your Pontiac here. Tell your Dad to join up and share his Firebird adventure with us! Good luck, Bart
