Okay im about to get a 1982 firebird i know nothing about carburaters.. this is the first email i got from the guy with the car...

this is an 82 firebird SE V8 w/ 305Ci block, 4 barrel carb. I blew out its original engine so it actually has a newer one in it, it's out of a 1986 firebird fuel injected. i kept mine carburated, but if you'd like to convert it i have the manifold. i put in this engine last year in January it had 150 k miles but i hardly have driven it, before i put it in i bought and put in the car the following items: new power steering pump, water pump, radiator, alternator, battery. it also has 1 month old tires. the transmission on it is a 350 w/ shift kit and 5 clutches instead of original 4.

I want to bulid this car up and make it a nice sleeper or even make it be able to beat a 77 trans am 400 with a blower that runs 11.90's....

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

also was wondering how to get ahold of a ram air hood..

 

How much is the guy wanting for the car? If you plan on attempting 11.9's and quicker its going to take alot more then a 150K 305. So you need to consider that your buying the car just for the chassis.

 

were trading cars.. i have a 91 merc cougar.. 93000 miles

 

I dont really need 11.9s though because that 77 t/a isnt even running now and hasnt been for almost a year.. i would like a nice time though..
