That’s a nice build must have been a tough choice to let it go, I had an 85 T/A with a Holley 650 in the original 305 with a “shift kit” transmission.. I loved that car but it was slow..🤣🤣 This one looks like it has it all..

It truly is sad... but I find myself not wanting to drive it because of the carburator compromises. Plus I'm going to put AC back in with LS. The extra 125 HP will help too!

Is there a build video on the motor/trans? I just bought this motor/trans from Victor the guy you sold it to last year. Question: Is the trans manual valve body and does it still have a lockup converter? Did you freshen the motor i was told it only had 3K miles on it. I see the video from 4 years ago this setup was in your Firebird.

@jeffpostweiler1544 o really! Did they change their minds? The trans has a shift kit. Not a manual valve body, but if shifter is in low/second it will hold the gear at any rpm. I had a ratchet shifter in my car which paired well. no build series on this engine but let me know what questions u have. It was a great sbc 350!

@EssMotorsports He bought a completed street rod didn't need this drive train after all. I put the front drive Alternator and power steering pump on today. I'm missing the upper alternator adjustable arm that went from the alternator to the top of the water pump. Any idea where you got yours from so I can get another one? This is going into my C1500 autocross truck.

@jeffpostweiler1544 that was some years back. I think I got it from jegs. It was a short linkage.

Ok this should be the last 2 questions. 1. Did you remove the distributor when you pulled the motor? So I know if I need to reset the distributor when I put it back in. 2. What MSD rev limiter box did you use? Thanks again for all the info. Firebird sounds awsome!!!

I bought a used Tesla last year. After that my Trans Am GTA, Camaro and Fiero all went down the road. Joe Rogan said, "it makes all other cars seem stupid." I've seen the light.

Yeah I know, I work in that space and have ridden in Telsa performance models, they are cool. But I still don't want one as a "sports car"
