      Trans am or formula 400. I like this alot and know the trans am is like the firebirds big brother. But damn now idk. I loved the formula 400 but this is better. Yes they are alot alike. But the trans am does have better options to begin with....torn

    The Formula 400 R is the most insane realization of a childhood dream that I've ever seen. My first car in HS was a 71 Formula 400, and around that time 1995, summit racing built a car named the quadradeuce. It was a hot rod with a modern awd drive-train. I remember reading that article and looking at my Firebird and thinking to myself... what if... I never told anyone, but apparently Greg heard me.

Cue mental image of someone sitting on the garage floor surrounded by scavenged parts and a beer, cursing profusely, stupefied as to why his bits don't go together like the ones seen on youtube.

    This guy literally read my mind. I've been dreaming of doing this forever. The two things holding me back or the mechanical knowledge to do this and a quarter million dollars😂😂😂. These are the best builds out there. Congrads!
    That black Firebird is something else to amazing

    This GUY is my hero!! I loved the junkyard engineering! I loved doing that too!
    Had kids and left it alone.
    I remember those days walking through the aisles with toolbox, tape measure and caliper !
    Some many parts are interchangeable if you have the knowledge! You can find stock parts that are Heavy Duty for your ride!
