400 hands down. Love that rumble
It does have a nice sound and drives fantastically.
I'll take the white one with the blue stripes. 😁
good choice lol
Love it!
Same here.... They're both amazing.
I would have to drive each one for at least a year to make up my mind!
🤔 very good point, stop
By anytime
I just inherited a 69 all original recently. Can't wait to start getting time to work on it
Congrats on the new car. Being original is great you can make notes and have a good map on how it goes back together
OEM all day everyday!
Right on!
There's no wrong answer here. Both look awesome. Congradulations on another beautiful car build.
Awesome, thank you!
They are both AWESOME cars!
I could not agree more
Both fantastic cars. Congratulations, Jon. Finished product looks great!
Thanks a bunch! I love opening the garage door and seeing these cars side by side
love them both
Yeah me too. Wish I got to keep them both.
Great job John and an amazing timeline for "part time" !
Many thanks! I could not be happier besides the car being mine of course.
GREAT job! Beautiful work!
Thank you very much!
Unbelievable what you did to that car in around a years time! Congratulations Jon, you are inspiring! To answer your question, I’d definitely take either of em, but I would probaly lean towards the 400 car. I just have a love for carburetors!
I feel quite accomplished at a one year build, seems larger shops don’t turn them that quick plus this isn’t my full time gig.
That’s a tough choice! Only answer is both.
Bingo!! I will be hauling the judge up to the VVG not saying it’s the next project but it’s coming home.
@ I can’t wait to see that build.
@justindennis1186 I can’t wait to drive it.
They are very nice cars...but I would roll with the stock original appearing car...nice job on the project... enjoy the miles of smiles when cruising around....thanks...🔧🔧👍
Where's the test drive?! We need to experience these cars through you lol.
Good point, that’s a great video idea.
Can I have the restomod, but with the poncho engine?!
That’s a solution too.
Resto, the modern reliability.
Can’t disagree, plus that one is my car 😎
Turned out great! I would have agree LS platform is easier to get parts. That's why the GT-37 is getting a L92 aluminum 6.2L. Still love the Poncho engine though.
Right on, your car will be a runner for sure.
@VinylVillageGarage
That is the plan! Keep up the great content.
@@rajcam80 will do! Thanks
I would switch the steering wheels between the two cars
Did all the first gen cars have power steering coolers??? I don't remember seeing that before.
Nope only cars with I think it’s 3:55 or higher rear gears. Wasn’t a trans am only thing
Where did you souce the stacked gauges?

They are still in development but should be available soon. Mine was a prototype Dennis is the guy making them and he has been great to work with.
Anything restored by you.
Fantastic!!! Thanks buddy.
If you're doing as trans am clone you have to do the 400.
Good point. The owner told me to build it as if it was mine, meaning what parts and options so I went for all the good
Stuff and it’s going to be tough letting this car go.
Give me the LS for a daily driver!
You could still swap your bird and I know a guy that can help get it going for you to. Just a plane ticket away
Poncho all the way, but as a begger I am not choosy either would do😂😂😂😂
I am a Pontiac engine fan for sure, many 400s 455s and many many tires in my past.
Me? I like the restomod. I have a 67 I'd love to do but I just don't have the $$, so I'm doing things a few pieces at a time and drive it when I can.
Little by little still gets you to the finish line.
What ac compressor did you use to get in stock ls location?
It’s the factory Compressor and bracket, in 2002 there was two compressor choices for the 5.3 trucks as long as it wasn’t the variable displacement one it can be used with the vintage air kit. The subframe and passenger side engine mount had to be modified to get things to fit. I did the extra work to help keep the engine bay cleaned up and hide the fact it has AC
restomod by far.
Factory style.
Definitely a great car, going to miss it when it’s gone
both are extremely nice, quality work! kinda sad neither is a 4-speed though! but remains incredible builds...
I have a 4 spd bird and definitely does change the driving experience and smiles per mile too.
