oh yea thats kind of a jaunt. i dont know what gears you have in the TA... but, once a week isnt that bad of a drive is it? how many miles are on it now?

mines got like 102k currently... but its still in storage. i really miss it and wanna bring it down here... maybe next summer i can go get it.

I just love the way the WS6 snowflakes look better than the other 7" w/o a lip.

flu, my TA has the stock 3.23 gear and only 58k miles....all original (paint and interior). No, it's not that bad once a week. If I knew other TA's were going, I'd definitely make the trip.

yea, i would love to bring it out on saturday nights just to show off... and do what i do best when i do finally bring it down here, i guarantee ill post about it and have some new pics. the engine is fully rebuilt w/ some mild street stuffs. unfortunatly, my Olds 403 block has "windowed" mains so itsnot that strong and i had to be conservative w/ the power. i basically used the same cam grind and profile as a RAIV 400... so it should perform somewhere near there, minus a little compression. it may not be untill next spring or summer before i can bring it down... its going to be snowing soon up north and i dont want to bring it out in the snow... i think im gonna need tires too...my rears are practically bald.


soo... i guess theres only 2 2nd gen owners? oh well, i guess that makes us rare or something... pretty wierd considering there were 97,000 Firebirds sold in 1979
