why locate the distributor to the front?
What's the intake angle on those heads about 5deg?
Do you do this full time now?

Why? Because it's "trick" no one will know what kind of engine it is.
The intake angle is 0 degrees, IDA webers bolt directly to it so it has to be level.
You can get a lot done in weekends and evenings and still it's going slow while waiting on parts/

I only pay for the parts, DIY saves a lot of money

cut the fenders and move them out and re-weld to fit the wheels.... Kumho XS are available in 345-35 so that will do it..... :thumbs:

I don't want to cut and weld on the TA, it's too nice to cut up. I may have to massage the inner rear fenderwell a bit. I'm aiming for 315s

that's what I thought too... then I took the sawzall to the fenders LOL
the 315's are a good fit for 10.5 or 11" rims, that's what I have on my '79

next time you're here, hopefully by then I'll have it tuned to the point where it can be driven without lugging like crazy (and not shoot 10ft flames LOL)
Crap is stalling here like mad....stuff not coming in. Ordered EZ liner from a co. here. They said it'd be in by a week or 3...took 3 months in all
I can now coat the patches on the camaro where I removed it for welding the SFCs...I also finished the TA where I ran out of it last time. Got the last batch of bolts back from the plater and a bunch of parts in like a big C&R radiator. Time to get cracking again.
She's sure looking good on the underside
Also got a T65 but it's an LT unit. I'm thinking I need a 4XX LS3 style engine, most likely LQ9 block, stroked, L92 heads... I'll need a different T56 then. I had it installed in another chassis but I pulled it out. It's a complete swap setup
The other chassis has some extra metal
not sure what to do w/ it yet

Got my bed liner about 8 months ago to do the under side of the Firebird, just can't get motivated to take it all back apart since it's running. To damn much fun to drive.
