Less than 200 is easy to say.
Around 100 is probably safe to say.
Ram Air Verts was like 12 total , in 68.

The YW block that tanksteve offered up arrived last Thursday. I got it picked up on Friday and boy did he package it well! Thanks again Steve for putting up with my endless e-mails. The block made it from California to Georgia in only four days.

This is an old thread that I thought would be fitting to update. I still have this car, and it continues to put a smile on my face whenever I am behind the wheel. Thanks again, Greg Reid, may you rest in peace.

74SDformula, I see that it has the optional performance rear gear...what ratio is that? Such a sweet Bird and cool that Greg steered you to it. He is missed already.

I am also partial to blue 68 firebird convertibles.

Yes, it is a 3.55 ratio. The original carrier was in pretty sad shape, so we just went ahead and installed an aftermarket carrier. I will have to do some digging around for my timeslips. I think the car will easily go 13.50's and probably a little quicker in the right conditions.

That is a great running Bird! I'd be curious to see how much it weighs too. Thanks for post the YT pass down the track.
