Jim I would like to see that tune! We have been messing with one a little bit here. No injectors yet, but some tuning and shorty headers into a open 3" y pipe with about 18" collector, 4.10's and 26" slicks mustered 14.70's 94mph in the heat. I think it could use a converter desperately as it flashes just above idle.

I'm Wondering if it could be built for 10 grand or less.

I have to amend my last. My son now tells me he put headers, roller rockers and a 3800 to 4000 stall YANK convertor also.Sorry about giving you incomplete info. The car was a street killer! Oh and the gear was a 4.56. 10 bolt rear. Tune was done by a guy who usd to work at Titan. Jim

That Yank is also very Streetable !
Hardly notice it is a high stall converter..with the new stator Design.
The Lock-up with the OD makes cruising with 4.56’s easy.

Steve, that was my plan in 2000. I have many parts including a Moser 12 bolt complete, an engine with machine work done, two new Bullit cams, s and w torque arm and many misc parts.
I'll make you a super deal. call me 504 606-5072 Greg

On the other hand Ronnie Tomento down here has a very nice and fast one ready to go for 25K

I think there's one for sale in Louisiana. Might be a Firebird though
