Need websites with engine information I've been working on an Excel spreadsheet with every V8 available in production Firebirds and Trans Ams, 67-02. It includes information such as HP/TQ, engine RPO code, cubic inches, bore x stroke, compression ratio, FI/carb, and engine or VIN code.
The reason I'm doing this is that I want to buy a 2nd gen F-body (in addition to my 2000), but I like various years, so this spreadsheet will hopefully let me compare the engines available through the years easier. It's also pretty cool just as a reference to look at.
I've been using a book (Standard Catalog of Firebird 1967-2002), but needless to say, like many books, the data is sometimes (often) inaccurate. So I need websites that have good technical information like I listed above so that I can verify the numbers, and if necessary, change them. It doesn't have to cover every year Firebird, and actually I would probably prefer sites that concentrate on certain generations of Firebirds because it has been my experience that they tend to be a little more accurate.
Once I'm finished, if anyone wants the spreadsheet, I'll happily e-mail it to them.
Thanks
