I haven't been on this site in a while.
Here's an update.
Earlier this year I spun a cam bearing. Pulled the engine and my Bird sat for months. Along comes a nephew of mine to show me the 95 Firehawk he'd just bought. It was a nice car and had some nice mods. After i drove it I told him to be very careful with the car. The next night he totaled it while showing off. Nobody was hurt, but the car was.
Long story short, I bought the car from him for parts and my Bird is flying again.

Too bad on the Firehawk, but at least you were able to get yours up.

wow...that engine looks awesome!

our engines are identical! same intake and valve covers

Yup that engine is pretty sweet but i hope you don't still have that FRAM oil filter on it, get it something good with an antidrain back valve (K&N / Mobil 1)
all least the two brids still live in one, hence yours...looks really good and bet you are enjoying it more than ever...may I ask what oil brand you put?

uhmm.. i have only changed the oiul once so far since ive had it and i put full synthetic mobile one i think. and not the fram oil filter.. bosch i think
