1980 Blue Pontiac Formula

I acquired the car in 2001 from my dad. At the time it had his 455 in it that is now in his 1978 Lemans that runs 12.20s. My engine came out of a 1972 Catalina Wagon that we located in a junk yard. We also found the heads in the same junk yard in the trunk of a early 70s lemans. The Firebird originally had a 2.41 single wheel rear end. My best times with this setup and street tires was in the 13.20s.
