Not a bad thought....but we kept all the internals the way they were. Didn't change a thing as the motor only had 80,000 old folk driven miles on it. I basically swapped everything but the block, heads, internals, and intake manifold. All the accessories were swapped out for the L69 accessories, fuel pump, water pump, carb, distributor, etc. We did everything we could to keep it simple, as we already had to change it from an auto to a manual to get it in the Trans Am as the Trans Am came with an L69/T5 from the factory. We also wanted to keep as much as the original wiring sockets and etc that we could as we didn't want to screw around with the TA's wiring. I've rebuilt the distributor, timed it over and over again, dumped fresh gas and starter fluid in the carb etc. same result. I can't do anything until I get home in May. But keep the ideas coming folks.
