This !!!!!
Im waiting for the bearings so I can make the bushing to block off the oil feed hole in the block that goes to the back journal of the original balance shaft. Found the tool for R & R of the bearing on EBay cheap

No Im eliminating them all together. You still need the front part for the chain though. The rear needs to be blocked off with a bushing so there is not a massive oil pressure drop. My extra blocks on the stand so its easy to do now rather than later.

Is your Firebird the one with the GN motor, perhaps? I just remember the little oval badge with the wings on it. I only ever saw one in person because my brother owned it. I haven't seen one since. Edit: I guess not, I don't think I see it on the ground effects.
Good to know. That won't be me, then.

You must be older, like me. I remember when those trucks first came out. All the young guys were foaming at the mouth over the 454. Then you drive one, and you're like, "wtf? Nothing happens when I mash on the gas!" The poor motor was weighted down with pure emissions.
