So i got a 89 firbird formula, the floors are rusting out. I bought a 90 firebird formula SOLID car that i am gonna swap everything from the 89 to the 90. Plus a ls1 swap, the engine is going to get a cam, new pistons, crank, ported heads, new valves, springs, and other goods. Body will be repainted, I am still tryin to figure out a nice mean lookin color and what i have come up with so far is black, . So yea here are some pics, i will most likley have questions so,..... here we go.

I got a LS1 two days ago for 350$ as a long block. I tore it down, and the crank is bad and three pistons have lovely marks from the valves. So here we go,......

Here is a pic of the engine after we picked it up
