Cool pictures of blown 8-71 firebird

wareagle, i dont know about fuel injection, for the street unless it is EFI, mechanical injection is to complicated for me, i would rather stick with carbs, this engine has a .030 over 400, crower cam hyd, .507 lift 246. duration at .050 302 adv. 114 lobe separation, forged trw pistions, eagle 3d rods, ported 6x-8 heads with ferrea valves ,headmen headers, with 3 inch exhaust,and flowmaster mufflers, with turndowns,turbo 400 trans with shift kit, 3200 stall,b and m shifter, 10 bolt rearend with 3.90 gears, with auburn posi, like i said earlier i have made some changes to the car in the last month, with new wheels, torque thrust d's 15x4 in the front and 15x10 in the rear, with hoosier drag radial 275/60/15 in the rear and there hoosier front runner drag tires in the front, also got rid of the edelbrock carbs,as they just did not perform up to expectations, now have boost referenced 830 annular discharge holleys on there,and wow!!!! what a difference the car picked up big time!! i am hoping to race this car next year, i would like to see 10's out of it when i get done tuning on it, but we shall see. pontiac 462 if i don't reach 10's on the blower i will contact you about that nitrous kit!!!!!! thanks again.

There was a 78 T/A 8-71 428 etc. that would show up at our local PONTIAC SHOW for a couple of years -boy did it sound nice--you could hear it from blocks away- Awesome. You'll like yours --what a attention getter.

Can't tell from the pics, but did you move the distributor up front? Crank trigger too?

Very nice ride there!!! Looks great. I just don't understand the part about driving with a blocked view. LOL

Trust me, you get used to it! I would love to convert to EFI in the future but have to spend money on other things first.

Since this post has turned into a "show us your blowers...", here's mine.

This is a mock up block as I am gathering parts. I still have lots of parts to buy, plus a new shortblock, but she should be on the road this winter.
