Thread: I want to badge a First Gen Firebird, "Firebird GTP"

All this talk is driving me back to the 326 as the base of my rebuild. I understand that during the GM standardization days, Pontiac to 4cylnder, Buick V6 and Chevy V8 but that was 40 years ago. The reality is that that technology is been redesigned, redeveloped and there's nothing really original about it other than the displacement.

What I'm hearing is...
1. No badging. - Done (I've run away and thrown that in the junk yard)
2. Build it right. - Not supercharged but do it turbo... (cost?) Still leaning towards supercharger.
3. Anything else?

You can buy turbo kits for a decent price, I think GMR badass has a z7 kit still for like $2500
