Heck... Engine swaps, or any other endeavors for that matter, are easy if you're not actually doing the work.

I was so happy I was not the only one who used those tricks... even the front under the hood got a satin treatment. Amazing how it cleans these cars up. Only thing I did not know is that the whole interior would be out. Had I known I would have brought some sound proofing. Made world of difference in mine.


I have always has great respect for those who can pull off engine swaps. So many think its just a simple weekend swap. I got so ragged because I opted for a 3.4 swap over a v8 swap on my 2.8 firebird. Seems so many don't realize the extras that go into it. I had it as a driver and knew I could not just take it down friday after work and have it ready to take me to work Monday morning. But still the arguments continued... just shows you how many don't really research



I did the underside of the fenders in new rubberized undercoating. Amazing...they looked brand new!

That trick keeps me getting awesome scores on undercarriages... lol... the firebird got sound proofed then painted. No one ever realized it was not factory.

Nope that's me. I was wearing my Mr Rodgers T-Shirt.

That is a really cool video. I was on doors almost all day with a few excursions to the front fenders and work table.
