Welcome Brent, You have a great looking car. Adam is a real good guy to talk to, Leo Glassbrenner as well. Both run Firebirds. Bryan Phillips too. There are a great bunch of guys on this forum. Just don't listen to all the SKY IS FALLING,AND DRAG RACING SUCKS nonsence that gets spewed on here, and you will be fine. You have a great car to run stock with. Just start out at your own pace with parts and stuff. Have fun and learn as you go. Enjoy the journey....

Thanks guys... dont worry, i know people like to vent on how the organizations are ran... dont mean much to me.. i just want to get in there and run with you guys... Probably wont make it to any events this year, but plan on startin on my shortblock and heads towards Fall. I will be watching at INDY in Sept. I saw Bryan Phillips' car there in 2010...i was only there bout 5 hours, but did manage to see Stock and SuperStock run qualifying rounds on Wed or THurs. Im hoping to get some tech advice ... not sure how much info you guys will give away though... i know some of you have been doin this awhile and spent lots of money. You may not be real forthcoming, and i understand that...but any advice i can get on engine/trans stuff will be greatly appreciated.

Super nice Bird! Yea, i cant stand it anymore... im really lookin forward to building this 400... ive got 3-4 sets of heads and 3-4 intakes to choose from(all correct part #'s) and about 5 blocks(all '68-'70 vintage) and 4-5 cranks. I believe i can run my '68 Olds Q-jet, correct? Ive got a 400 turbo built for Roy Mckinney's 68 SS/IA Bird in it right now with an ATI 8'' converter(probably not enough stall speed...roughly 4200) and 4.10/12 bolt with Moser spool/axles. Cal-tracs work like a charm...car has done 1.48 60fts with a slightly hotter 455 than whats in there now. Ive got hedman 2'' huslers on it also...cant run headers with plates, right?
