It's been waiting to drop into the Firebird for weeks now- I just need a cherry picker and I'm good to go. Specs in sig.

that motor looks really good, but i believe that a 750 holley double pumper will be in the future for it if you want the tunability/power it will provide.



F*** your V-TEC; my heads are Vortec
You just got smoked by pushrod tech.
Go hang your heads in shame, ryce boy fools!

Glad to see you decided to swear off that TBI.
IIRC, just last year you were determined NOT to go carbed...

Mine's still in pieces

Looks good, any reason you decided with an all black engine? Hope you dont' ever have to track any leaks.

I didn't want to paint it any stupid colors only to regret it later. Black is basic, and it hides all the dirt and grime which plagued my stock engine bay.

TBI can eat me. I didn't want to go carbed, but hey, it's simple right?
