I love that car Matt!!!! I've had RAIII 69 GTOs and T/As. I like the T/As better. I had this original drivetrain T/A at MCACN.

Now THAT is Cool, and I'm not even a Pontiac guy. There can't have been too many of that configuration made in a Firebird. Thanks for sharing.

I have the correct radiator and alt etc for it just didn’t want to install it all w the pro stock engine . My daughter wanted to put it together and take it to a local show so that’s why it was kind of assembled quick in the pics .
