>'85 Firebird Sport Coupe from Lewis KANSAS. Pulled bird off road to swap L4 to V8. Had a hard time removing that first bolt! Got engine and trans bolted in place though. Have'nt had much garage time latley. I would like to get togather with other 3gen's sometime. Any information on Kansas gatherings, let me know.
NOTE: Anyone outthere installed "RAM cast iron exhaust manifolds" on a 3gen with 350 auto?
Hi Terry,
I installed 1967 Camaro Ram's Horn style exhaust manifolds on my sons '86 Z/28 because i put an "old style, drivers side dipstick" block (350 - 5 speed) into it. Actually, I only put the drivers side on, but it bolted up and fit real nice, had to take it to the muffler shop to have them patch in the head pipe, but it works fine. I don't know if the old Camaro's are the same as what you have but it is what I had layin' around and after measuring to make sure, it worked out. Thought I'd chime in on your question. Marty
Hi! I'm in Gardner, KS... About 16 mi. south of Overland Park. My White '82 Berlinetta Has a '70 Vette L48 350. I still have original LG4 with 59,000 mi on it if I want to go back to original...

I'm in Salina... The ksfba.org forum is nearly worthless. It's mostly a bunch of LS1 loudmouth nonsense. It's very poorly moderated, so it's usually just unregulated trash talk. The technical content is very slim, and I haven't seen anything in the classifieds worth having in the last 3 years.
It'd seem there are more then enough members on here from Kansas to justify a 82-92 specific forum, if people were to participate. The regional forums on here are just about useless too... As if someone in Utah is local to someone in North Dakota. Someone should just make a KS 82-92 Fbody specific forum.

Actually, I was thinking yesterday after I posted that "JamesC has posted some good thirdgen parts in the classifieds"... I'm glad that slip didn't offend.
So what are we going to do? Do we just try to participate on KSFBA until there's some 82-92 activity? http://ksfba.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3768 is a start... Or do we set up a new message board on a free host?
I'd do a lot more with my Firebird if there was a decent forum. I've been working towards getting the car drivable again recently and I'm basically there, just have to jump through the legal loop holes.

Not at all. You wouldn't be surprised to learn that not a single part was sold through the site in question.

It's not too surprising... I listed a storage unit full of stuff and had a couple nibbles, but mostly just wasted my time. I've had better luck selling stuff on Craigslist. I've still got an attic full of parts, and some stuff in storage that I'd like to get rid of, but out of sight out of mind, and there really isn't anywhere to post it.
yea i understand. I am selling some stuff off the firebird. Just a little here and there. Its not hurting just sitting there. And got enough money to get the clutch i need for my conversion for my camaro. I tell ya what I will see what I can do on my end on the ksfba.org with the thread i made if no luck then i will use my rusty website skills and get on in the makings.
So far its eh on the ksfba.org. I seen alot of us trying to get it going. Been sitting here I am going to see if i can get a free host up to move our forum there i will post more when i have it.
Already registered and posting... Needs more traffic, but that'll come as more people find there way in.
You might want to go back to the first post in this thread and edit it to add the link, since people stumbling on this thread will probably start there.
