I just purchased a 1980 turbo that has a 350 pontiac motor(thats what the old owner said). I was wondering is that a good motor, could I add a turbo to that, or what is the best motor I could just bolt in? I need help and I dont know alot about motors.
Thanks

Best engine for a street car IMHO is a 455. 400s are Good and Ive had to 354 powered cars that were alot of fun too. If youve got a good running engine already, drive it and see what you think...you can always swap it later.

Thanks for the response, I will keep the motor and see how it works out. Is it easy to find performance parts for it. Do they make turbos for it?
Thanks for all the help

So, you bought a 1980 turbo Trans Am, is that correct?

If the car has a 350 in it, then it isn't the stock motor, whioch you might already know. It's possible to add a turbo to just about any car, but that's if you have a lot of specialized knowledge and fabricating skills. The only stock Pontiac motors that came with turbos were the 301s. I imagine it is possible to find replacement turbos for them, although I have never checked.

Are you new to Pontiacs? You really don't need turbos on these cars to have fun, fast cruisers, or even really fast race cars. A Pontiac 400 or 455 motor can be built up to give you all the power you will need. Unlike imports, older cars rely on cubic inches to make power
