What Was Your First Big Block Car ?
My first Big Block car was a 1969 Pontiac firebird . It started out as a 350 2 BBL TH350 308 open 10 Bolt car . But not long after buying it I took a trip to the junk yard . There I found a 1971 Grandville with a 455 330hp engine . $400.00 dollers later I was the owner of that 455 . One week later and the big block was sitting in the 69 firebird . I ran the 455 with a stock dual exhaust a GTO intake and Q Jet . Points dist with curve kit Accel wires and coil . The first time I went around the block in that car I could feel a big difference from the old 350 ! And when I took this car to the strip the next week . Man with no headers TH350 open 308 rear end and still ran low 14teens . And thats burning that right rear street tire all the way down the track . And on the street at a roll that car was never beat .What was your first Big Block car ?
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
