qforms dont fit the kicks because of the ebrake and vents, but you can do f/g pods on the doors. tons of room, be prepared to do aftermarket hinges the doors weigh around 120 lbs w/o electricals lolz.

I plan on running my older Kenwood EZ500 deck in it....It will give it a vintage look....and still play CD's...I could change my mind...I dunno yet...I know the dash has already been cut for a CD player...so at least I don't have to cut the original plastic....I may decide to go fancier on a deck after I get it....I have a JVC KD NX5000 that sorta gives the illusion of an older knob deck...and its loaded with features...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Heres mine:

403/auto. ws6 4wheel disc, 8 inch honeycombs, ac, defroster etc etc.

The 403 is very buildable... I have:

Bored +.040

Edelbrock performer rpm cam, intake.

Jet performance stage 3 quadrajet.

Comp Roller rockers

TCI street fighter 10 inch converter.

Stock distributor, with Accel module/ 300+ wires

Dynomax ceramic coated headers, 2 1/2 inch exhaust with hpipe.

Eaton posi w 3.08 gears

#8 heads from early 70's 350, #5 heads( the awesome ones) in my garage waiting for a rebuild

It is a serious beast, power all the way up to 6k, which I never go past and only did 6k once or twice in 10 years. I love mine, and you will love yours as well, even if you leave the motor stock.

Edit: Also did a 13.3 with the old 2.73 gears about 8 years ago everything else the same.

Thanks, if you need advice on building yours, I have gathered quite a bit of knowledge on the t/a's since I bought the car 11 years ago.

have a 79 z28, If your gonna make some power Id look into doing subframe connectors, mine started puling the body apart from the torque. Id run the competition engineering slide a link bars out back , theyre great. The camaro and firebird are basically identical, lemme know if you need any help or parts. heres mine( i know it needs paint)

u should get some new headers,cam,deff an intake and carb,port the heads or buy new ones,new pistons keith black makes some good ones for around 180-200$, bore the engine bcuz im pretty sure thats a low compression engine bcuz this is when all the companys started making crappy engines so new rings or pistons and maybe bore it out and a new crank with a longer stroke. but my question is why r u going to put so much money into an old pontiac that i can go to the junkyard and get for 200$????
