Sunbird (sunturd)

this car was a 1980? i think, pontiac sunbird (like a hatchback monza)

this car came with a powerglide, radiator, rollcage, radials, and a rear already installed in it

we dropped in a 4.8 that we studded and swapped heads on, then installed a 6010 and ms1 box from the ventura (the trans was blown out of it so we scavenged)

non intercooled, gt45 turbo, methanol, twin 044 pumps on the stock sumped tank, tuned on 20lbs of boost

it had stock truck intake, 80lb injectors, and that's really all there is too it.

ahhhh the sunbird, a friend of ours owned this car, and he was moving away, offered to sell it to us, so what the hell, sure we bought it lol.

Brought the car home and threw together a 4.8 shortblock we had, and put some 317 heads on (dropping the compression into nothing, since we were going to do non intercooled e85 and methanol build on this car.

then brought the car to my house to do the wiring and little things

Hood exit exhaust on this car! haha

there it is all installed and nearly ready to go

we did get it fired up and driving around, tuned the car on 20lbs and it became winter before we knew it, and ended up selling this car to a friend in florida during the winter!

never got to race or dyno it, but here are some videos of it driving around and boosting haha
