this is quite tricky.you have to remove the entire heat box,the pass. side rocker panel,also need to detach the parking brake wire from the assembly itself.most of the screws should be visible,but there a few i had trouble with.you need to drop the steering colum as well.remove the glove compartment along with the dash bezel that holds in the instruments.it's funny though,i hear this is a 30 minute process,but it took me well over 4 hours to completely remove my dash.if you have the model without a/c,this process is pretty quick and you do not need to remove the heatbox.you do though,have to drop the ventilation ducts/heat ducts since they are secured to the backside of the dash.there should be fast screws behind everything on the passenger side.once the glove dept. is removed,you should be able to access these.this is one thing i never want to have to do again.so if you're thinking about redying,i'd do it while it's off.

Not that is not true. They used gold Pontiac Firebird Esprits. Started with 76 models then went to 78 models. They never used the 79 model. Three cars were used each season. They all had Firebird Formula engines but were all Esprits.

I am installing a 400 Pontiac V8 in my 1975 Pontiac Firebird in place of the 6 cylinder What bolt holes do you use for the V8 Motor mounts Help me?
Are you asking which ones to use on the block itself? What year of block do you have. Pontiac has basically 3 styles. The first is a two bolt design up to '68. The second is a 5 bolt design..from '69-'75. Then a 3 bolt design from '76 to '79. I'm going to assume you have a 5 bolt design. You will need the engine mount brackets from a '69 and up Firebird with a Pontiac V-8. It will use 3 of the bolt holes in the block. The upper hole and two of the lower holes. Buy the correct rubber mounts to install on the frame and you are good to go. Hope that helps.
