1989 Firebird with a 455
Hello,
I am new here because I just found a 1989 Firebird that I am interested in. Me and my dad have a few older Pontiacs, and my dad has an old 455 that used to be his race engine that is sitting in our garage complete. I found a 1989 Firebird that was gutted with a roll cage but no engine for really cheap. I was wondering if anyone knows how hard it is to fit a 455 into an 89 Firebird. I looked and can't find anyone that has done it before. Does anyone know what it would take?
Thanks!
