Olds is the only way to go...wanna talk specifics? bring it! Poncho's used both Olds and Pont. plants of several different sizes ansd model years...for example, the 403 from 77-79 is Olds sb, all have windowed mains and none had m/t mated. The poncho 400 had m/t though.....
I don't even think it has a blower, I think it just has the scoop, cause It should be higher up if so and I don't even hear a whine. I could be wrong though.
hey man nice car, I got a 73 455 olds I have done up for my 79 TA, its goin in, in a few weeks now, I was wonderin, what headers you used, do the 403 headers work for this particular application? and what about clearance issues if any? I am worried out of my mind about that shit.
I put a olds 455 with the edelbrock intake on my 79 Trans Am. I had to go with the hood scoop as well. You cant shut the hood with a stock air cleaner. You cant use the shaker either. I used 403 headers and I ended up having to put some dents in the floorboards for them to clear. It was my first car so I made a lot of mistakes. Im sure now there are more options to get them to fit in a trans am.
well my motor is in now, and the 403 headers worked out, and surprisingly the shaker still just barely fits, but it could be cause I ain't using the torker 2 manifold. Thanks for the info though.
Hey, I just got a '75 Trans Am 455 HO Performance package 4 Speed. Its bone stock and runs well. I read somewhere its only 200hp, Is this true? If so do u guys know of some cheap mods to boost up hp while looking stock. Thanks
That's wild! We had a Delta 88 (1969) with the 455 Four Barrel and I'd give anything to have that car back and redo it. I'm looking around for one right now actually. Anyways - cool cars!
A STOCK TRANS AM 400CI 6.6 LITRE HAD ONLY 180 HP. HAHAHA! (:>)

may I say...olds 455s were made from 69-76, 71-2 is where the detuning began. Obviousley a build up motor in the bird, too bad it's not in an Olds.
Search 442 burnout (oldsguy1 is the poster) and look for the orange 442 video.
