the 301 was available thru the 81 prod yr.
after that a 307 olds or 305 chevy were the v-8 choices unless you count the 350 olds diesel.
in 86 the 305ho was used in the 2+2 exculsively.
the bop engines got the 2004r trans and the chevy's got the 700r4 when overdrive was ordered.
3.8 and 4.1 v-6's were also available.
i believe the 4.3 was offered in the late 86 production and 87 model yrs as a fuel injected option.
it's worth mentioning that 2 3.8's were available in the 82- prior production yrs. the rear dist engine was a chevy [229cid] while the front dist engine [231cid] was a buick built unit.
to my knowlege the turbo 3.8 was not offered in the pontiac chassis, it was in the chevy for a few yrs [79-80 i believe].
the manifolds for all g-a bodies will interchange within the gm family as long as the engine is the same.
it's been my experience that for most applications 73-77 exhaust manifolds will dump in the right spot on the 81-87 g bodies for a usable system.
one a side note, the 81 model year was the last production year that a man trans was offered in the g- a platforms.
