Tall block is not a defined engine swap.

I know about building your own car and all, but did you see Dick's Firebird for sale here? I think it sounds like a pretty good deal. Save some work building your own completly.

You might want to think about a quick change (extremeliner or similar). That would make you legal and there sort of nice to work with. I was very impressed with ours. Looking forward to seeing those build pics! That car has always been one of my favorites.

Rob,  does your QC  use 35 spline axles ?  what ring and pinion?  spool or locker ?

Thanks

The lakester we built (rebuilt) for for Dennis L. used the 3.08 r&p but out liner will use the 2.00 r&p and both have 35 spline axles. The 3.08 will get down to 1.84 ratio and a spool is readily available for it. Not so for the 2.00. I don't plan on using a spool in the liner. Got everything from Joe Timney.

here's a picture of the bullet.

  I was in a Ferrari store at Wynn's casino in Las Vegas wednesday and they had a formula I 10 cyl engine on display,
 [3 litre 800 hp]with nice carbon fiber inlets similar to those gold ones, as the throttle linkage was there I couldn't resist moving it and those inlets moved up and down about 2'' :-o

It's a Chevy block, or a Pontiac? If it's a Pontiac block, as verified by casting numbers, you should be ok, depending on if it's newer or older. The old Pontiac blocks were different than Chevies.The fact that you said it was a "tall Block", indictes it's a Chevy. Pontiac didn't make a tall block, did they?
