    This reminds me of my firebird, but I went ls1 with 4l60e and 289 gears in rear diff. 488's dam, that's going to suck on the freeway. My firebird cruises at 80 mph at 2000 rpm getting 25 mpg's. But I got respect for the old school and the great sound and rawness of this ride are awesome. I dig it.

    They need to raise the harness bar several inches - check NHRA or SCCA standards for harness mounting. As they are now, those harnesses will induce crippling spinal compression loads in the event of a crash.
