Hello everyone,

I was led here out of goodwill of other 4th gen owners on Facebook.

I have a 1995 Firebird that, for the current moment, is bone stock. Im new to this entire scene of Pontiacs as well as the entire American car range. (VW fanboy at heart.). Well, plans on the bird are still yet to be determined.....so photos for now. Opinions and ideas are much welcomed!

What I sold for the Firebird :


And the new...well Im unsure what to call it:

You can make they 3.4 pretty peppy.... Heads from a Montana Minivan fit and have good gains paired with some headers from RKsport... Theres another company that made headers but i forgot the name. I had a Magnaflow catback as well as a Dynomax on my old 3.4 that sounded great.
There was a write up from a guy who did the top end swap on one of the v6 forums. But that was 10 years ago

No it was rare. Just finding the quality parts were getting harder
