Jeez, I just googled my engine builder Vern Moats and find out he just died last week.

I bought my Firebird in 1975 when I was timber falling at 17 here in northern Manitoba .  I bought it off my foremen who was getting out of racing and getting married. He had Vern Moats build the engine with M22 tranny in 1973.

Here's the death notice of Vern plus a NHRA video from 2015.
