Hey, this thing looks awesome. I have a second gen firebird I'm swapping in an 6.0 with a 4l80e. I have the hooker trans cross member. Did you reuse the stock trans cross member?

Neat build man, & the fact that your family's enjoying it just adds to the awesomeness. 
If I can ever get my build together & running, you're not that far from the Denver area, maybe I'll figure out a way to see it in person...

Got a little work done, been having trouble with the shifter since I got it going, (used stock th350 shifter with my 80e) and turns out “someone” forgot to tighten the nut for the linkage on the trans! So I got that squared away, but obviously still couldn’t manual downshift to 1st. So I got creative and did a little modding to my stock shifter and now I have a 4 speed stock shifter! So that makes me happy. Put the car on the lift to get started on the rear. Changed oil and filter.

I dig this car. Kudos to you for doing this for your wife. I loved reading what you posted about the 307. Never understood putting money into a 267, 307, or 305.
