Short and sweet... My 85 Ttype body has so many problems (in my opinion) that I've bought another car to depend on and drive every day. Can't keep them all (I have a chevelle, too), so it looks like the Ttype is going to be completely dismantled all the way down to the VIN plate. I may put the driveline in the 86 Firebird that I just aquired. However, I need to know what hardships lie ahead with an operation of this magnitude before I do anything hasty (i.e. I could leave the bird alone till I find another GN). Firebird only has a 2.8 6cyl in it and I don't know how long I can drive such a bagged out s?#t motor for, all the while being beaten by some punk kid who spent his whole month's pay on a tach and a muffler and thinks he has a 9 sec car just because he beat me. Any, now that I'm done ranting, one of my big questions that I can't find ANY help on is can I use my Precision front mount intercooler from my T in the firebird? Does it mount in the same spot? Air flow issues (since there is no grill)? Will the tubing work? I can't find anyone with pics on the net who's done this before. And I'd ask Anderson (he lives 10 minutes from my house), but he's usually too busy. Or should I drop a v8 in it to get me by for now and save the gn driveline for something later? Any insight is valued. Thanks.
