Is that a '71 or '72 Ventura? The only way i can tell on the outside is the fender emblems. Looks like a nice driver to me. I wish i had that front bumper for mine.

In '71 they were only available with the chevy 6 and 307. I don't know what the breakdown was for the '72 model with the chevy 6,307 or one like mine with the Pontiac 350.

Some late 2nd Gen Trans Ams came with small block Chevys. You might be able to adapt some of those parts to make it work.
