Paul and Ian Houston's 67 Firebird

Ian and Paul must of liked my work I did over winter 07/08 as they have rebooked the car in for this winter, this time the attention has been turned to the engine, we're doing away with the old school twin dominators and the tunnel ram on there Big Block Chevy and upgrading them to twin turbo and FAST fuel injection

The first thing we did was remove there engine and stick it on my engine dyno for no other reason but to see just how much HP we will gain over there old combination, then we re-fitted it ready to start the fabrication work

The car now sits 7 1/2" lower than when it arrived, and I still managed to get a 4" stainless exhaust to the back of the car and keep ground clearance to go over speed bumps.

Over the winter of 2007/08 the Firebird was in for a full back half including cage,tubes,tin work,4" exhaust and suspension set up. They raced the car all year to a best of 9.14 at 155mph,
