Almost done 67 Bird

Ok guys, Here she is. A 1967 Firebird with an LS1. Been working on her for 9 mos. What a pain in the ***, but worth it. Just need a little tweeking and a fresh tune of the pcm and she will be ready.........

I got the intake off of ebay. Suppose to fit a vette. So much for that. I had to hack the crap out of it to get it to fit but it looks good. As far as the wheels, yes there chevy rally's. I like em. Maybe I'll put some foose wheels on it later when I recover my bank account from the conversion. The color is I believe Admiral Blue. Same color that came on the 96 Vette Grand National with a little bit more pearl. Thanks guys, It means alot to get positive feedback. I workd my *** off on this one...

Can we get a run down of what parts you used for the install. That ride erases the word "fireturd" from the dictionary

I didn't see the A/C compressor in your attached pictures. Could you post a picture of your set up because I've come to the conclusion that I need to do the same set up using a Sanden 508 per Vintage Air's direction (stock LS1 compressor is not compatable with their units). What components did you use from S&P to complete the serpentine belt set up? Thanks in advance for the input!

I used the same compressor that you are about to use. I will post a picture for you as soon as I get the motor back together. Had a little mishap at the dyno shop. Oh Well. The guy at S&P to talk to is Lambert...............He can point you in the right direction I'm sure. Will cost you about 300 for the brackets...................
