Stage one of updates are complete on the Firebird. Car has been lowered and front disc brakes are on. I re-did all the brake lines with nickel copper line and AN fittings. I bought the good flaring tool from k-tool and can do both 37 and 45 deg flares. Works great!. Wheels and tires , tie rods, tall upper ball joints are all on as well. It drives way better.

I haven't done anything with this car in a long time. I got the 69 c10 on the road just after Christmas and decided since work was slow I would LS3 swap the bird. I figure I should update the thread. Pictures to follow.

The LS3 came from Rydell and was on my floor the next day. They are great people to deal with. I'm liking the retro look LS motors so I went that route. I adapted some SBC valve cover mounts to Pontiac. It took 2 tries because the Holley ones were too tall and hit the brake booster. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6e8435e057.jpg

I copied Mark with the coil mounts and adapted an electric fan to the stock rad.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...617f3a68f1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f4e84d68d6.jpg
