Marc, the original motor was not with the car when we picked it up. Their was a 350 small block chevy in it that the guy wanted to keep. He threw in a late 70s 400 bare block that was junk so that got scrapped. We got an early 70s 400 complete motor for a good deal from my husband's friend. We still have the 3 speed saginaw. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it yet. I'm thinking of holding on to it at least for now. This firebird had the oddest options ordered for it. Besides what my husband wrote, it had the HO stripe package and the 400 hood and grill inserts. We have taken plenty of pictures of it and as we are tearing things apart. Not only to document the work but, to also help us put stuff back together. I'm thinking another year or two and I might make it to the Pontiac Nationals (with the car)!
