History of this Firebird

Here is some info on the car. It was originally a California car that was sold to someone in my home state about 13 years ago. The car was restored before the guy in my state bought it, so the paint and interior were showing some wear after 13 years. But over all it is in pretty good shape, no rust, underbody also very good shape.

Whats been done so far

I will start with the motor. It has a 69 ys 400 in it with #62 heads that have been ported and polished and have 1.6 roller rockers. It has a torker 2 intake that has been port matched to the heads. It is running a 850 Holley double pumper on it with a Holley blue electric fuel pump. It has a MSD Pro Billet distributor and a MSD 6AL spark control system and set of accel 8.8MM wires. Morroso deep sump oil pan 8.5 quart capacity, with oil cooler. Ceramic coated headers with      3 inch exhaust running into Flowmasters dumping right before the rear end. The Cam is a coustom ground camrunning 301 duration Int/313 exhaust, with .543 int lift and .549 exauhst.
 
The transmission is a 1969 th400 that has been rebuilt to take a beating. Running a 3500 rpm stall convertor from TCI, but i ordered a new one from continental convertors so that will be in soon:) The rear end is Ford 9 inch with 31 spline axles and 3.88 gear ratio. There is a drive shaft loop, and the shifter is a B & M quarter stick. Will add more info later.
