Default New member-67 Firebird in Houston

Hi all,

I'm a longtime lurker here, with a few posts here and there on lat-g. I spend most of my forum times over at pro-touring.com.

I spent most of my adult life in Portland/Vancouver area (Oregon/Washington), and had been living in Houston for the last 2 years. I bought a 67 Firebird 400 in 2006 from a guy in Puyallup. Spent 3 years restoring it from the ground up in my 2 car garage. Powertrain consisted of a rebuilt Pontiac 400/Turbo 400 combo.

I have a project thread on pt.com (link below) documenting the process.

Here's a picture of the car when I came and looked at it.




After 3 years



After a year driving it in Houston, got tired of the Pontiac drivetrain and decided to pull it out and swap in a 5.3/4l60e.

I will document the LS swap in the project section. The swap is done for the most part, just working out the bugs.
