used to me a guy on here with a sunbird like that red and all, it had a turbo v6 in it, got sold and not sure where it went. Maybe someone can find his build journal, might not be the same car but that jogs my memory looking at your pics.

Yes they car has been fully 5lug swapped and has 3:55s in the back with a spool. Car came with a nice set of long tubes and is set up for a sbc currently trying to decide if I am going with a old school small block or going with a ls motor.

looks like a solid foundation, the engine only comes down to how much money you want to spend!
