Read this thread with some interest. I also know where a 79 Firebird, w/o engine and transmission, resides at present. I looked up the available engine combos:

These are the engine options offered for the 1979 Firebird:

Engine Options
V6 231, "A" Code - 105hp
V8 301 "Y" Code - 140 hp
V8 301, "W" Code - 150 hp
V8 305, "H" Code - 133 hp
V8 350, "L" Code - 160 hp
V8 350, "X" Code - 155 hp
V8 350, "R" Code - 160 hp
V8 400, "X" Code - 220 hp
V8 403, "K" Code - 185 hp

Are one of the 305/350 engines corporate Chevy options? Badged as an "80", it would be eligible for IHRA GT stock, which opens up even more potential engine combinations. Just some food for thought.
