    Default Soo many damn choices...

    I hate trying to figure out what to do with this damn car. At this point it may be worth it to just cut holes in the floor and drive it around Flintstones style. I want to be fast but its just too much shit I can do. Maybe I should just go witha LS1 and call it a day. sigh...

    Go for it, though you do have a bunch of options to go with. As far as interior, you should see pics of my last car, It was so stripped it did'nt even have seatbelts lol.

    Nah I like how the Firebird looks. Plus Im seriously wanting to do a Knightrider theme on the exterior. I can stuff any Chevy motor in there but not sure what to do. Ever read so many articles and tech threads online you get a headache trying to decide what to do? The LS motors are pretty easy to mod and I think I'll try to get my friend at the dealer to hook me up with an LS7 for this thing. Or maybe a 427 or a stroked 350, maybe a twin turbo LS1, or a B18c5...

    lol, thats a little extreme. Are you really prepared to dump that kinda cash into your car? IMO it would be better spent on a 97+ Fbody..

    305? if so... ya those things are slow as dogs and are hardly worth the effort or money to make a contender out of em. I'm assumin' thats what you have since you just said "firebird" and not transam. step it up to atleast a 350 = )

    I bought it as a shell, no motor or tranny. I want/need major power outta it for where I want to go with it. Nobody got the B18c5 joke up there?
