I am sure Bill Porter would like to have a polite word with you regarding your eyesight.

My 79 Trans Am originally came from the factory with a 403 Olds.

My 79 got quite a bit of attention as I did the LS3 swap to look OEM. It also thrashed timewise a new 2016 Corvette and 2015 (?) Camaro at the local road track. The Camaro finally bested my time after spinning out twice - he was quite a determined man! Had I deeper gears and stickier tires...
