    Default Another bird!

    I found a 88 Firebird and it already has a 400 Pontiac motor in it! So instead of worring about changing my 87 over, I will just put my 455 in the 88.
    Now, if anyone can help me out on pix of headers for a 3rd gen firebird with the pontiac change over, I would greatly appreciate it. I will be able to get a set made, but they need some kind of idea what they need to look like.
    Thanks for the help and will post when I get some stuff done.

    Anything new on your bird? Ever find any headers to look at?

    Thankfully some Pontiac folks pulled up their anchors that were firmly planted in the past and started to explore new uncharted waters.

    Never found it> No new news on the bird. Has been in and out of the garage, and i did finally get the interior pulled. The problem so far is too many other things breaking that need the garage! Daughters GMC, now the tractor. GMC was a easy fix, but the tractor has been long term.... That's what happens when you get old i guess! A 8N back-hoe, (probly a 1948) and work it hard, blew out the differential! Just got a new one yesterday, so with any luck, the bird will be back in the garage in a week.
    I did find a welder that can modify a set of headers that I already have to fit the car. Just need to get everything set for him, but I'm gonna wait till the 455 is installed.
    As soon as I get any new news on the bird, I will pass it along. At least the 87 is still ready for opening day!
