1982 Pontiac Firebird dealership video

My first car was a 83 S/E, v8 5 speed, t-top...didn't have the ws6 package though.

yeah all of the bells and whistles made them heavy though. Im just finishing mine up right now. I swapped in a 350 from the same year truck. It should make a significant amount more torque than the Lg4 305 that my car would have came with had it been a v8 originally. What color was yours?

mine was red and missing the muffler.....man was it loud and fun...got it to burnout in third. don't forget to put subframe connecters on yours.

already put them on...lol. for when it makes more power. I really don't need them for 200hp, but it does stiffen up the chassis. cheers

modding is bad, the original is a work of art from the gods.

*drool*

God I soooo need to get one and mod it. Classic Pontiac rulzz!! Wish they didn't kill the brand....

It's unfortunate that such great cars had to make do with those horrible chevy engines. TRADITIONAL PONTIAC ALL THE WAY!!!!!

Ain't that the truth,they should have kept the 301,it had more HP than the chevy 305.

They should have kept the Brabham Pontiac SOHC 303, It made more HP and TQ than a 454.

the 301 was more expensive to modify, and there was a lack of parts.. I have a rebuilt one and I can't give it away. I do agree that the 305s were sickly underpowered though. Mine was originally a v6 with a 3.08:1 gear ratio behind a 200c trans. even with the 3.08:1 gears it was still at 3100 rpm @ 120kmh/75 mph. 107 hp....lol.
