Schwartz Performance<\/a> built this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula at their company in Woodstock, Illinois. The car rides on their G-Machine chassis with Ridetech single-adjustable coilovers and a power steering rack. Under the hood sits a 482 ci (7.89 L) Pontiac V8 built by TPiS Inc<\/a> making 621 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The engine features Kauffman Racing aluminum block and heads, Scat I-beam forged rods, Diamond forged pistons, Kinsler stack injection, custom exhaust headers, and FAST XFI fuel injection system. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a T56 Magnum close-ratio six-speed with an American Powertrain clutch\/flywheel, custom steel driveshaft, and Moser 9-inch full-floating rear end with TrueTrac LSD, 3.70 gears, and 31-spline axles. A set of Forgeline VR3P wheels (19×9,19×12) cover Baer Pro Plus six-piston calipers and 14-inch rotors. Read more details on the project at Hemmings’ blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
