Buick powered 78 Trans Am

Hello all, I am new here and wanted to say hi. I am just finishing up the details on my 1978 Trans Am. 462 Buick powered that is, 560hp 565 lb/ft. :bglasses: Its gonna be hard to keep my foot off of the gas pedal so my TA friends can keep up. lol I also have an 86 turbo-T. I will post a couple of pics when there both ready.

 

We landed that big bad BBB today soon as the wiring is done it goes to Janis transmission in Akron Ohio, for a 200r4 trans install :Brow: can you say easy 11's with 20 mpg. :3gears:

 

BBB TA, sounds awesome, lets see some photos!

 

Well Its finally running, and here are some photos. It still needs a few things but all will be done by spring.

 

Great lookig machine. I bought a 455 pulled from about the same vintage TA that had been run on the strip a long time ago. Great combo.

 

Man when i pulled it out of Janis transmission to get it on the trailer to go home, i noticed this thing has instant throttle response, i mean just a tickle of the throttle and :3gears: gonna be fun tryin to hook this beast up on the street. Gonna be some badass Buicks cruisin the streets of Ohio this summer.

 

great looking TA and engine wish my camaro looked that good!!!!:ball:

 

does anyone know if the Pontiac 455 frame mounts the same as the Buick?

 

No they are not we had to custom make our own.

 

Thanks I read something once before saying that they where the same, I quess that is why I like to double check every thing lol
