74 Formula Firebird (757)
Name: Ed
Location: Norfolk

Miles: A little over 100k
Price: $2200 Firm
Trades: Possible...
Reason for selling: Don't have time to mess with it.
455CI Pontiac Engine
Turbo 400 trans
Extra 455 and turbo 400 trans
Extra fender skins, front valance.
Car has a fiberglass cowl hood on it but also has the original fiberglass ram air hood as well. (I have seen the original hoods sell for 4-5 hundred dollars because they are hard to find.)

Motor starts up fine if it hasn't been sitting. The trans was fine when I got it. I haven't driven the car since I picked it up. The last time I tried to move the car under its own power it didn't want to go. It could be a fluid leak but I can't promise that because I didn't see fluid. I haven't had time to flush the tranny fluid to check.
The motor in the picture is the spare motor, the tranny in the picture is the spare as well.
I will also say the buyer better not expect to drive the car the day they come for it. It needs some work, it is a project, not a daily. I would suggest new underhood fuel lines, not the hard steel line underneath the car. I would also suggest plugs, wires, fluids, air cleaner, etc.
The car may also need some odds and ends to pass inspecton. I bought this car to drag so I never checked everything. I have just been way too busy to mess with it.

Re: 74 Formula Firebird (757)
what are the block and head castings on both motors?
the block casting will be 2 letters right below the passenger side of the front of the block left of the water pump and below where the head is
the head castings will be 2 numbers or lefters on the center exhaust ports
thanks
