What V8 was used and what exhaust manifolds? Were these manifolds shared with other divisions V8's?

How do you mean? As far as I know, there were a billion corporate engines in the 78-87 GP: 231 (v6), 267, 301, 305 and maybe even 307 and 4.3(v6). I'd originally heard that the pontiac 301 was only available in '78-80, but have have others claim they were available later. I bought my '81 with the 400 installed in it. I sold that car, but bought an '86 with a 305 that I'll put the 400 I kept in it. I can look and see what it has... maybe send digital pictures if it will help.

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. mike

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.
