Hi Carl.
If this car is an LX Sunbird it will have an Opel 1900 4 Cyl not a Starfire. Starfires weren't fitted until partway thru the UC series in 1978.
Opel engines are painted black & have the carby on the RH (Driver's) side of the motor

You'll also need a 6cyl tailshaft and to move the gearbox rearwards, meaning a new hole in the floor. The 3.9:1 diff will piss you off after a while too
