Telltale signs of an orig 69 Firebird 400

[DaJudge]

Stealth, everything you have posted is correct except you could order a Firebird 400 2bbl, just like the GTO. I owned one with a buildsheet a long time ago. I think they called it the economy package. I will see if I can find a copy of the buildsheet I had on the car.. It is the only one I ever saw.

Oh and the hood scoops are closed, unless it is a Ram Air III or IV bird.

DaJudge, please try to find that paperwork!

I'll never say never, but I have never heard of a Firebird 400 2-bbl. The 69 Firebird 350 was available with the 2-bbl, or an optional 4-bbl, but not the Firebird 400 model. There's no mention of a Firebird 400 2-bbl in any factory literature, on any of the order sheets, in the factory assembly manual, in the factory service manual, or on any of the factory engine charts.

They made a few thousand 67-69 GTO's with the 400 2-bbl option, and it was called the economy option, but they didn't make any Firebird 400 2-bbl's.

If you find any paperwork, please post!
