JLMounce's 1969 Pontiac Firebird

Factory Options:

This is a custom ordered car. Originally AC equipped which provided the beefy TH400 auto. The car was originally equipped with a 2 bbl carbed poncho 350, delux interior package and consoul shift.

The car is now a floor shift with a worked over 455 poncho. The original delux interior is still in place and in great condition.

Exterior Modifications:

Once finished the car will sport the following exterior modifications.

Camaro style spoiler on the trunk
Camaro style front chin spoiler
Color keyed pumpers and mirrors

Interior Modifications:

Interior will stay stock with the exception of sport seats and a nice stereo.

Performance:

The car was purchased with a built 455 in place. 462 cid with #62 (big valve) heads, edelbrock performer RPM manifold, RA IV cam. Power is sent to the TH400 via a B&M whole shot 3000 converter.

Once the restoration is complete I plan to open up the engine, replace the heads and drop the compression to a boost friendly 8.5:1 and complete a turbocharger system for the car. Performance goal for the car is 700 hp and equal torque.

Suspension/Chassis:

Guldstrand mod, Delrin front control arm bushings, Hotchkis 1 1/4" hollow front sway bar, DS&E solid body mounts, DS&E sub-frame connectors, AFCO 800 lb front coils, custom built 300 lb rear multi leafs, custom valved Bilstien shocks.

Drivetrain:

The only thing planned for the drivetrain is a 12 bolt rear with a Torsion style differential.

Electronics:

I plan to do a 7 speaker audio system in the car.

2 doors speakers with 2 tweeters, 2 rear speakers and 1 sub-woofer.
