I'm glad mine is matching numbers down to the intake, heads, and trans. I pulled the 400 over 15 years ago to build a 455, and I stored the matching numbers engine.
Most Firebirds you see listed on E-Bay are converted cars, many owners believe that once a 400 engine is installed, that makes it a Firebird 400, but there was much more to it than that.
Cool looking car PMDCLASSICS, congrats!!!
