Schneider raced his Tbird with a 428 Cobra Jet at the beginning , but switched to a 351 Cleveland shortly afterwards, and that is the same engine he runs today. Here in Div. 6, I believe the first GT cars were Jim Gormans Malibu, and Steve Hahns Dodge Lebarron, which may have been one of the first FWD conversion Super Stockers.

Dave Danish NHRA Tech watched my car being built by Danny Davis in California every week until it was done. Danny Davis was very creative and Dave came over a lot of times to see the car being build to make sure the car was being built to The GT rules. Danny Ran the headers out towards the front. There is some Pictures in the Pontiac Musclecar Performance Book By Pete McCarthy of the car being built..I have the book somewhere and I will post some pictures of the Pontiac Trans Am . The Car is now in Sweden being raced. The present owner has won a lot of races with the car
