Default Howdy

Hey
I've been meaning to sign up on this forum for a while, and finally got around to it. My names TC, I live in Cleveland, Ohio and drive a 1992 Pontiac Firebird. Right now she has a blown 3.1L V6, which will be fixed until I build up my 350 the way I like it to drop in. Thats a bit about me, and I hope to contribute and mingle with fellow car enthusiasts.





The engine in the pictures is a LB9, a 305 TPi with a 700R4 attached on the back. I picked her up in a junkyard out of a 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z. I plan on purchasing a 350 ci Crate Motor, and using the TPi intake on it (darn emissions).

Haha, sorry to disapoint you on not being from texas

I would like to drop in an LS1 and a T56, but I got the LB9+700R4 for a pretty good deal, and the longblock I talk of is $1300.

But viewing this forum for less then 24H has convinced me that my next car (in addition to both of my firebirds) isn't going to be an IROC, nope, its going to be either a Camaro or a Corvette (LS1, possibly the LS2 if the new Camaro is cheap enough).
