I bought my 1968 Firebird 400 HO in October of 1983. Through the ups and downs I have held onto the car. After getting PHS docs on it in the early 2000's I began gathering correct code & casting parts to take it back to original as possible. Original drivetrain was long gone from the car when I bought it.

I tore the car down to an empty shell and finally have it running again. A minor accident did some damage, can easily be repaired. Currently has a 1974 455, stock bore & bottom end, 4X low compression heads. M-20 Muncie, 3.55 rear.

Been thinking: since original drivetrain is long gone, being truly original is not possible. At this point I am thinking of selling off all the bits I have collected. I have all the major parts to build a 400 HO engine.

Something to ponder.
