Take the engine/trans out of a cheby pic-up, one session with the mapping guy, and you have a formidable street/strip car.

Mike: any shop that makes decals can make them for you. You can get pretty much any color you want also..

I've had one on the rear window for about 20 years, and guys ask me where they can get them. Pretty simple design, but I figure if I can find a shop that already sells them it would be easier. Plus, the Indian head might end up looking more like George Washington if I have it done locally.

I bought it on eBay for 3.99 from silverballdesign. I wanted to put something on the race hood other than "400", so I went with Chief Pontiac. I'm running ethanol (E-85). I already removed one chebby from my Firebird, I doubt another will ever go back in as long as I'm alive. I have a 2000 Formula with a LS1. It's a great engine for a daily driver, but it's nothing special, it's actually lacking power compared to a Pontiac 400 or 455.

I have no idea if anyone would be interested in these stickers I had made up when my wife and I were selling T Shirts. I'll just post them up to see if there is any interest.




The Injun Engine stickers are 4" X 5" yellow, or black lettering. The Stratostreak is 6" X 3 1/2".

I have a limited number available if anyone's interested, $4 ea. plus the postage. PM me if your interested.
The adhesive is on the backside so they are external stickers for outside of windows or on the body.
