Re: Pontiac 400-455 in 1993-2002 Firebird, Trans Am
Hey, how's it going?
I am new to this website but, I have been a Pontiac enthusiast for a long time. I was wondering what the possibility of putting a REAL Pontiac 400-455 in a 1993-2002 Firebird, Trans Am, Formula, and the 2004-2006 GTO. I know the easy way to go is an LS, but I had heard there were parts to make this swap a little easier. Possibly, motor mounts, headers, transmission mounts, etc. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. 1970gto400 |

You will have all kinds of clearance issues. The engine bay in those cars are set up for a non-carberated, non-distributor SBC and don't have room for much more. Then you have all the gauges dependant on several sensors, It would be a wiring nightmare but it can be done.

You can fit a Tall deck BBC in there, several ppl I know run the 4th gen in stock suspension racing. A pontiac is'nt a problem, header and steering clearance would be the issue. Got a 94 Z28 I've thought about the Pontiac swap. Oh, and alot of guys trim the cowl back to the windshiels and run an "extended" hood. I see butler kept theres fairly stock.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
