My 1981 Trans Am "after" duals

This is a walk around vid of my TA after I installed a hooker 2 1/4 duals, flowtech headers, thrush welded mufflers (flowmaster copy). This is a 403 6.6L engine. I also installed pypes stainless TA splitter tips. This car at the time was still in mid resto.

yah theres a difference between canada and us,,, I never seen a v6 in a 2nd gen around here,,,they were never available in 80 or 81 iether.... not saying there wasnt ones before then but i think they werent offerend in canada. Here theres alot of 305 chev base model firebirds in 81. Wiki lists a 265 pontiac v8,,,never heard of that either. they were just 267 chev motors??

@OldestManInCanada nope,,, not in these 2nd gen cars,,,, your thinking about 82-92

sbc engines only came into use halfway through 1980, 77 had the 400, 350 v6 etc, 78 had the same, 79 had the v6 and 301 t and non t, 1980 had 301 t and non t and v6, then halfway through started using sbc b/c there was a surplus and potiac was getting out of building their own engine, then in 1981, there were whatever was left over for poncho motors and the rest were simply sbc. i've done my research and that's what ive come up with with, have a good one people

@OldestManInCanada

Base model Firebirds, up to 92, could come with a V8. I have a 1991 Firebird came with a V6, but had the option of a 305 TBI V8. Besides the 70s era cars could be option almost however you wanted it to be.

@jcurrieta was that the small block chevy that I've seen in a few 77 or 78's that I've looked at. I was surprised when I saw the valve covers and knew it was a sbc. then I asked the guy what was up.... did you throw a chevy in there and he insisted it was stock and it was a "survivor" car and showed it so, I bellieved him. Only a 267? Would get a woman around I guess. My woman has run out 1st and into 2nd sideways in my bird.... steering like a champ lol love the birds. BUD LITE!!!
