Hi, I have had this site bookmarked for quite awhile, always waiting for the car I have watched for 5 years, now the car is mine and I can become a more active member.

I live in lower MI now, back from Grand Rapids for 6 years, mainly lower MI most of my life.

I picked up a 82 firebird, I am the 3rd owner since new, and has been been garaged 90% of its life, one rust spot on the drivers door, thats all. 2.8 with a blown head gasket, and PERFECT interior.

Not sure how to upload pics on here from my HD, so if anyone can tell me, I will do so.

The car is gonna be a cruiser for now, dropping in a 3.4 I am getting from a friend, doing the Ram Air hood, and GTA styled wing, wheels and tires, and not sure from there. But I am geeked I finally got her.

Anyways, hello.

The 3.4 is a popular swap for my 90 Z24 (J bodies) too from what I've heard.
How 'bout a blown iron duke? lol

There are FWD 3.4's (Grand Prix) and RWD 3.4's. One sits sideways and the other doesn't....
The Iron duke is a 4 cyl. offered in thirdgens in the earlier years.
