i love everything about the car and the engine, but my question is, if the engine was never part of the car then why not build a car that matches what the engine was ran in originally. which is i assume the 70 firebird right???

Well we aren’t sure it wasn’t, that cut hood for dual quads came from something. And my car had a paint change (graphics ) which makes me think it went in into the 70 year (why would you change paint ona one year car) there’s a lot we don’t know yet,
I don’t think I’d want to build a clone I’d only want t build the original 70:thru 73 car ( there were variations on the same car).
Many others have out a V engine in a IV car since this came from the same place same dealer to me it’s all the same thing,


Long story short I don’t have a good reason .
That’s the best answer I have for you other than a whole lot of people want me to do it this way. Easy enough to swap it back if I find the 70 original body. It’s not that much different. And I have both hoods, plus Still have all my IV parts.
