Default Hey New here.. old car.

Hey there, The names Scott, From Winnipeg (the cold place). lol

I have a 76 firebird that I am restoring hopefully, it's been sitting in the driveway for a couple years now.

It has a 400BB with an unfortunate 2 barrel carb... I have a high rise manifold and hopefully will be getting my hands on a nice 4 barrel carb (looking at around 600cfm+)

I will get some pictures soon. Show you guys what needs to be done... It's a pretty big project.

Here's some pics.

As you can see the weather up here is very frustrating, Just snowed again at the beginning of April. I'll have some more pics when it warms up.
