Well I've always wanted to build a 2nd gen Firebird or Trans am, and have been looking for awhile now, and finally found what I think is a good candidate for a build up.
Its a 1980 Firebird, very basic car, no power options, no A/C, and a v6 engine. Overall its not in bad shape for a car its age around here, the windshield has been leaking for awhile and rotted out the front floor pans, the quarters have been replaced at some point in the cars life, but they didn't do a very good job of it and they will have to be fixed or replaced, but the rest of the car looks pretty good.
First order of business... get a proper engine, while the Buick 231 is a decent little engine, I'd like to have something a little bigger, I found a Buick 455, but it didnt feel right to go with anything other then a Pontiac engine, so after some more searching I found this
its a 455 out of a 1974 Grand Prix a proper engine for this Pontiac
I also had to order the proper F body engine mounts and will have to drill and tap a couple holes in the block to bolt them up
