So this is going to be my next play around toy since ive pretty much finished up all the engine work that i wanted to do on the ram ( and thats mainly all i know how to work on)
This is my 78 firebird esprit givin to me by my aunt my freshman year of high school, hasnt seen the road since 94 when my dad finally blew the engine......
305 2bbl automatic rated at 140 hp my goal somewhere in the area of 450 hp 500 ft/lbs tq
then you dont want to hear about my other project 73 charger 440 4 speed already own it just need to go pick it up about a 3 hour drive from here but ill be taking it to my grandma's house where the bird is parked right now to have my fun
dropping in a 454 engine running twin 750 cfm 4 barrel carbs and rebuilding the tranny, tubular k-member and spindles as well as control arms, custom fabricating an engine strut, stripping the interior since it will be a drag car body is in good shape, no rust damage just missing a portion of the back "fin" then i think the paint may just be oxidation if not repaint the car in the same color

UPDATE : today my aunt is going to give me the title so we can change it and my mom has a friend that can noterize it so im in good shape and i finally get the keys so i can start ripping out the interior !
oh and what do yall think oxidation on the paint ? and let me dig up a pic of the engine in its current state
Nice project. Are you going to try and restore the paint or just repaint it? I'm surprised people still go with carbs, any particular reason? Nostalgia?
