Let me start by saying, I'm an avid GP 97-03 lover. I foolishly massacred a 97 GTP and now have a reasonable 01 GT with some custom work. Trust me, I know what I lost. I'll provide some pics. The gentleman who owned the 01 before me removed the badging and added some stencil work on the side. Otherwise, it's in terrific shape. 01GT Okay, on to the point. I have a 1967 Firebird 326. The old man purchased it off the lot in 1967 and together we are working a recondition of the interior and other worn components. The 326 it came with is tired and although parts are available we're looking for something more unique. I want to badge it a "Firebird GTP" by using a 5spd and a built 3800 L67 Motor from ZZP. Now, I know a lot of people will scream and say just do the true pontiac v8 but HP and Torque are HP and Torque. I've got a good friend Lee whom has supplied some solid advice as far as conversion ideas, bolt ups and installation ideas but I also want to through it to the community because you all are the Pro's. Let me know. 67 Firebird My question for the community is if you had a 1st Gen and were willing to do this, parts, build ideas, what and how? The Goal: Something strong, fast and more than anything completely unique. I will not sell or disregard the 326 currently employed. It will also be rebuilt and kept for the future. I want a first gen Firebird GTP. Thank you! - Matt
