'68 Firebird
Just wanted to share. After almost a year the Bird has got a fresh, new engine! The engine that broke down was build in the US and since I am across the Atlantic I went to a local builder this time; Rubert Enjoem from SSPerformance. Last week the first test runs were made and they were very impressive. Can't wait to drive her back home!

Very nice! The engine looks like it got a nice treatment of Kauffman go-fast goodies!
Where did you get the water neck? I need to replace my chrome cheepo unit. Also, is that the DSE wiper motor? And is that a Lokar throttle cable?

We used a couple of KRE goodies (very nice heads, flow 310). I ordered the waterneck with Summit a while ago, they have only one or two for Pontiac. It is the DSE unit and Lokar cable.

new Forgeline's
Last Summer I talked about some new shoes for the Bird with Frank.
I drove her the last year with some Rushforths:
Since Frank could cut me a nice deal for Forgeline wheels I went that way. It took some time to cross the Ocean but today I was able to pick up the new wheels.
Big thanks to Scott @ Forgeline, pleasure to work with, and Frank @ Prodigy Customs!!
