OK, a question. In 1968, Craig Fisher and/or Terry Godsall convinced the Sports Car Club of America that Pontiac Firebirds were sold in Canada fitted with small block Chevy motors, thus allowing them to race Firebirds in the Trans-Am series fitted with Chevys. The SCCA appears to have believed them, as there were Firebirds racing in the Trans-Am in 1968 and '69 fitted with Chevy motors.

I've researched this quite a bit, but have never found evidence that first generation Firebirds were fitted new with Chevy motors. So, its likely I've missed something, and that Firebirds were actually fitted with Chevy motors. Or, porkies were being told to the SCCA, who either believed what they were told on face value, or never bothered to research the facts.

Can anyone shed light on this?
