Default 1970 Formula 400 Build

Starting this thread to document the build and take any pointers and advice you guys have to offer.

I recently purchased this 1970 Formula 400, when I purchased the car I thought I was purchasing a base model firebird (with plans to clone a formula) it had no motor or transmission for 3,200. Went and looked at it and told the gentleman selling it that I most likely was gonna pass on it. Got home that night and couldn’t get the car off my mind. I know they are not getting any cheaper or easier to find and I didn’t want to let the chance to own one of my favorite Pontiacs slip. Bought the car and got it home started looking it over and saw the “W66” on the cowl tag, could not of been happier, my formula would no longer be a clone. Having the engine, transmission and original hood missing made me think this could have been a RA car. Pulled PHS and it was not a Factory ram air car, however it was a PMD zone 7 company car before going to McMullen Pontiac in February of 71. I was given almost no information on the car from the seller. I did reach out to one of the known previous owners who told me this car has sat in his fathers barn for the past 30 years. Excited to bring her back to her former glory.
