67 Firebird re-birth

[67rstbkt]

Also got rid of the v-belts and went with an 8 rib setup from CVF, and swapped the Powermaster for a Mechman alternator

Very nice looking car. I always preferred the Firebirds to the Camaros in that era.

If I might suggest, next time you have the grill off, a little flat black on those cooler line fittings behind the bird emblem and they disappear, no longer to distract from the nose.

yea - true - it’ll probably be awhile before that happens. I might try a little bit of loom on them
Thanks!

Good to see an update on this build! Looks like you have put a lot of work into that interior and it is looking great.

Also, that is an intense serpentine belt!

Great work on the interior and the stance is perfect.

Thanks! It's from CVF Racing - I figured if I was going to do it, might as well go with the 8 rib setup

Yea, still here and slowly chipping away at this. I painted it and started working on the cut/buff

beautiful color - what is it?

More updates - My trans was grinding under hard shifts from 1st to 2nd, so I pulled that out and sent it off to Tick for their level 2 rebuild and new bearings. They also had to replace 2nd and 6th gear, and 5th gear synchro assembly. I'm thinking a Supercharger is going to be the next upgrade. Pics soon....

One Torqstorm Supercharger, Installed. First run on the dyno yielded 512hp/580tq at 5psi. That's a solid 100 on both over NA. I'm running Water/Meth as well. I think it's got a little more in it.

A few more mods - I made some cover panels, swapped out to a bigger air filter, made a hole in my inner fender, and created a heat shield over the header on the passenger side - trying to keep the IATs lower

[srode]

That looks very nice! That filter is huge.

How is the torque storm running? Thinking of one for my chevelle.

No complaints so far, it does what I need it to do. I’ve got the 3.1 pulley on it on my 461 and I’m
at about 4K altitude. Seeing around 5psi

Very nice upgrade! I've heard a lot of good things about the Torqstorm units. Did they provide the serpentine belt setup or is that something you had before?
