John
This is now in my 74 firebird in the first post of this thread , i took the motor/ trans from the grandville.

Thought I would update this, We'll Made it to the track sunday.. First pass I left easy on the throttle off idle, just to get the feel of the car then hit it and shifted around 55-5600? started to see it smoke which i knew was a problem yet,but hoped it was taken care of. I looked at oil pressure , ...

That color really looks damn nice! Hell the whole car does!

I have 3" Ultra flows on my firebird with a 3 1/2 X ,and 3" tails, and its loudest at idle as soon as u give it some gas it quiets right up! til u nail it ! then its a deep powerful howl!! Cruising its very quiet http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v209/Grandville455/?action=view&current...

Steve, How u been? I was going to, but now I am going to sell it as a roller, it has the stock rear back in it... Going to miss it when it does go!

What does this one weigh, looks good!! Well before with the roots blower and iron head motor that was in it was around 37 -3750? So I am guessing now with my aluminum headed engine etc close to 3600 ? Car should go mid 10's I would think from weight loss alone! Then I added bigger headers, a pert f...

Well after racing my 4500+ car for 8 yrs I have decided to retire it, it went a best of 11.501@117.74 in oct, Being that it would need a roll bar etc and still be damn heavy I bought a friends 74 firebird and put my engine trans in it,I went up top 1 7/8 headers from the 1 3/4 and 3" exh to a 3...

Well drove it to work, it sounds quieter just after some initial run in, well continue to drive it easy til i get 200 miles on it

Well Got the rear all done and everything setup ,and now I am starting to break in the gears, A few questions, are the full spools with 3.89 gears going to be noisy going down the highway at 65?
