Hello. I will be getting a '69 Firebird soon. I've had a '68 Camaro and '70 Nova, so I know the sub-frames for all these cars are similar. I want to put a Chevy straight six in the 'bird while I search for a Pontiac OHC engine. I have Chevy frame mounts (engine towers) that are for a '69 Camaro or Nova. Can someone tell me for certain whether the Firebird's sub-frame will have the holes drilled in it so the Chevy mounts will be easily installable?

Thanks very much.

I think their more than similar..they're the same. Where in Florida are you?

All the holes are there.

There are a bunch of guys in Florida, each with several OHC motors. Check out the OHC board, and place an ad on the classified there, too.

Don't waste your time with the Chevy six ...

Happy Hunting!

Thanks, everyone, for the help. I knew the sub-frames were the same, I just didn't know if the holes drilled in Pontiac sub-frames were in different locations than the holes drilled in Chevy sub-frames. I'm near Orlando. My car is apparently a Sprint OHC car, but I'm only seeking a one barrel-carbureted engine.

Thanks again, and if you know of a Florida club that can help with an engine, please send a message. Any similar info. pertaining to North Carolina clubs would also be helpful.
