Formal Introduction
Hello all, my name is Ed. I'm brand new to this site and just about new to the rodding scene. I recently rescued a 1981 Firebird from a bean field in Iowa for $200. I brought it home and put fresh gas and an old battery in it and it fired right up. It has a small 3.8 liter 231ci. in it , but I'm toying with the idea of throwing in a big block. I work a lot so I don't have a lot of free time to turn wrench, but I would like to see my kids driving this around town one day soon.

Welcome to CHR eboy, ur best bet is to get a pontiac 455, if your goint to put a big block it it. The 231 has no performance potential for the money and, will find an extreme performance diffrence just by bolting up a stock 455 BUT.... there are many performance parts u can buy from www.jegs.com or www.summitracing.com and, include cams, intakes, carbs and a few other things which, would turn that Firebird into a real performer.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Welcome aboard e-boy, way to save the field iron from the rust demons! I do agree with drg84, must be RWD!
Sounds like a great find.
