1971 Firebird455 - Project

[LeighP]

I think a 440HO decal would be very cool....certainly fit the theme of the car.

Was on nightshift, so the project for this afternoon was to join the engine and gearbox and fit the trans mount.....
Nice to have a hoist, I was able to put it together myself.





Found out that apparently, the bolts that hold the trans mount to the box are metric (found this out after screwing in a couple of UNC 3/8" bolts, one of which tore a couple of thread tops off)......who'd have though a TH350 would have metric threads in it? :roll: Easy enough to fix, even if I have to helicoil it, which I think I won't have to....just need the right bolts.
