Nice and clean. I'd build up a nice 400-hp 406 and keep the original motor in the garage. Once you drive a Firebird with some hp, you'll want more. Nice thing about it is that the T/A uspsension still handles the power very well (mine has H-O racing sway bars, H-O front springs, '79 WS6 T/A rear leafs and disc brake rear end- not stock, but stock- appearing).

Beautiful ride, nicely optioned, don't bother about the automatic- not everyone wants to listen to a 4spd shifter rattle all the time. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy the ride!

Nice ride. sucks it's an automatic though. Out of all three of mine, only one's a stick.
