Yes, its much more functional than yours- I hear they don’t start working till 121.3 mph :)🙂 ORR89ROCZ,SOLOW: Thanks alot! I apprecate you guys liked that car - this one may turn out nice - but will never really be a replacement… I still had thoughts of keeping that car and rebuilding - but becoming more doubtful by the day… ---

Ok fellas, Car was back in my posetion yesterday, placed engine in today… Went smooth as Brian suggested - I was sweating placing engine in from bottom, but turned out to be real easy! Engine/trans is in, hole cut for shifter, cut hole for clutch master and placed pedals in, made starter wires - was hard finding an ignition start wire and fuse… but did finally… Probably will start wiring harness wednesday, and brakes… here are some pics - distributer is against cowl almost… about 1/16" of clearance, coil wire is actually touching… Dropped cradle again to try and beat up a little, but only about 6" of room after that… May actually cut out with whiz wheel, but ever time it rains water will run directly on to dis… There is much less clearance than I thought… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/87-trans-am-down-94-firebird-in-works/189601.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/87-trans-am-down-94-firebird-in-works/189601.md?page=3)
