    Checking In...

     



    I thought I should check in...

    I live in the San Diego area and have a new project car to build. My new project is a '69 Firebird Coupe.

    I am still deciding on what to do with the motor. I am now considering a Pontiac 455 or a Chevy 454. This will be for drag and for some show. I am looking for performance and high HP and torque with whatever combo I decide on. I just want 10's N/A.

    I am just a F-body Lover...

    If you want, check out the videos on my website. You may find them as a good way of wasting time. My site can be viewed here.

    I will appreciate the help you may have to offer since I am still learning new techniques and could use the help.

    I have the same beliefs. I have to decide on my overall goal though. I am shopping for a Pontiac 455 first. I will see what kind of performance I can make with that first. Some of my friends are telling me that it is too much weight. I am hoping I can push enough HP to get it moving and off the line to reach my goal. I don't know... what are your guy's thoughts (besides caddie 500 )?
