Thank you. We are very happy to have this car. Our 68 Firebird was totaled on Dec. 12 2009 when we were hit from behind. This car turned a huge dissappointment into something positive!
A full set of Diamond Back red line tires (Cooper brand) just arrived via UPS, they will be on the car tomorrow! Then, the 400 from our 68 Firebird is at the machine shop now and going through it. This motor was rebuilt 2 years ago and was putting 405hp to the rear wheels. The motor has a Crane roller cam & lifter, roller rockers, forged pistons and a brand new crank. In addition, it has #62 heads from 1969 (RamAir III), a stock Pontiac intake and a stock Q-jet. Then, I have the original M21 from the Firebird that was completely rebuilt and converted to an M22 last summer. Both of these will be going into our 67 LeMans within the next few weeks along with a pair of HO Pontiac manifolds, a complete mandel bent 2-1/2" exhaust with dual Violators and stock tail pipe tips out the back. In addition, I have a complete 4-wheel power disc brake conversion kit coming this week from CPP.
So, when all of the above is complete, we will have one serious sleeper on our hands as there will NOT be any GTO parts on this car. The only addition to the exterior aside from the red lines will be a hood tach, that's it...
Oh yeah, and the 400 will be dressed to look just the original 326 that is in the car now. Stock air cleaner and all!
