Wow!  Look how clean that engine bay is!  Amazing!   

The Formula with the 350 is a pretty rare beast, no?  Nice find.  Not all the gawdiness of the Trans Am... but all the engine.

:thumbup:

More pics please!

For ones not in the know, a brief description would help understand this phenomenon.  :)

You keep it in impeccable shape.

Classic. Someone on my street has a Camaro, similar to your Formula (Trans Am?). Also in mint condition too.  :)

Nice looking car indeed, how many ponies does this engine push now and which tranny is behind it? I would suggest painting the tower bolts in black it will look even nicer after that is done as well. Are you running headers or Ram Horn exhaust pipes as well.  :)

The house was a bit over 400K--it was mine and it's now sold--only took 1 week. Crazy prices in Calgary!

The strut tower brace is Hotchkiss (aftermarket)

I have never had it dyno'd but it runs 13.3@102. Perhaps 325 crank HP?

The trans is a 700R4 with a 2400rpm stall--it is built with every performance modification there is. 1-2 shift it jumps sideways a bit  ;D

If you look closely in the engine pics---you can see the ceramic coated SLP headers.

Did you run those numbers at Race City?  You'd likely run high 12s at sea level.  Impressive.  :)

Thank you for the specs, obviously a posi rearend to try and twist sideways on you, 10-12 bolt rear housing with 3:42's or 373's I suspect as well. The 700R4 will give you decent milage as well and the 2400 stall is a nice one to run. Mine is a 2600 by chance but only has a TH400 behind it with the stage 2 setup as well. That extra gear on the highway would be nice to have as well.  :)
