Re: My 1986 Firebird project
it's really close to whitewater, wisconsin and really really close to the Ill border. If you can get on the "Rock" freeway he should be able to get you there. You can't find the directions on mapquest because Delavans a bit of a one horse town. Be prepared and bring your own tools because its an actual junkyard. YOU PICK YOU PULL. It's kind of in a field and was an uphill battle when I was getting the heads of an engine. Call and see what he still has though, wouldn't want to waste a trip... Like i said i did pick a part a lot of it when I was there. Otherwise if that doesn't work check the message boards under the classified section of TGO there's always motors and trannys coming up every so often. Last but not least save your cash and buy a reman/crate engine. can't beat a warranty.

Re: My 1986 Firebird project
you shouldn't insult your car by calling it a 1986 Firebird project, call it a 1986 Trans Am project.
