I think he is about ready to sell the GTO...too many irons in the fire and too many other projects.

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Well, i finally got the engine buttoned up. Set valves, put intake and valley pan on... Primed oil system...65psi, all 16 rockers oiling. All is well with the world...hehe. Got my converter back from ATi, on Friday...So basically, other than seals and checking pan on the 2.75 low gear 400turbo, its all ready to set in the car. I think im gonna wait and run it once more, the way it sits, since i hooked up MSD over the Winter. I would like to verify that its all workin good, before i put new engine in it... INDY in APril is not a possiblity, at this time... i need a few things, like helmet and fuel pump, and taxes are approaching. Im gonna set my sights on Joliet , in Late June. That will give me time to sort car out a bit, before i hand over 185.00 for entry..hehe

Check out the nice wheelstand photo of Bryan Phillips E/SA Firebird on Drag Race Central in the photos section. Sorry I don't know how to make a link.
