Re: Starting work on my 91 firebird

thanks. well i tryed to get it started, had to clean the battery posts so that it would even crank over, not sure if the motors any good , didnt work on it long, just wantt ot see fi i could get it to mqaybe start today. looked in atthe floor boards, and thats going to take alot of work to fix. im not sure how the underside of the car is, have a feeling it not to well. so far i think the only thing good are the body panels....... having a hard time and i havent even really started yet lol just my luck.

Re: Starting work on my 91 firebird

good luck, sounds like you may need it! It'll be worth it once you see the finished product. Take mine, swapped parts from another bird onto a clean 150 dollar shell, and voila.

Re: Starting work on my 91 firebird

April 09 2008.

well found out my 3.1 v6 engine is junk, theres oil in the intake, and antifreeze running down the block. IF ANYONE HAS A 3.1 that will bolt in and run for cheap or maybe i can trade some of my 91 firebird interior panels towards, let me know please, i dont have much to spend, but it would be nice to have one that runs, or needs no major work done to it. thanks ....... on another note, i got the interior panels out of the car and the rear carpet out so i could see what the floor boards look like, and looks like im ganna have to patch the drivers floor board from behinde the pedals to the front seat mount at least but that should be all that i need to patch on the floor boards.... im placeing all my black 86 camaro interior panels in my firebird, if there are any comments on whether this will work on not please post them thanks.... ,

Re: Starting work on my 91 firebird

I have a 3.1l in my 91 camaro right now. After doing some research it would be best in the long run to just swap to a 305 or 350. There are many more parts available and your get more power.
Just my personal oppinon though.

Re: Starting work on my 91 firebird

looks pretty good, should be a fun project! When I yank my 3.1 out to swap the lsx in, I'll let you know. You can come haul it away for me lol. 122k runs fine.
If you're looking for something to take care of that rust, por-15 is the way to go, best stuff ever.
