Hi folks,
Please allow these q's to be slightly off topic but they are still concerning GM vehicles! I am looking at purchasing a 1978 Trans Am and am trying to find out when air con became standard or even an option. Does anyone have performance figures for the 6.6 litre engine for these cars. They don't appear to have much horsepower and go for their displacement, is this a fact or just the old HP at rear wheels compared to flywheel confusion? Also, to keep it Holden orientated, how much trouble would it be and would performance gains be worthwhile considering fitting a current model Holden/Chev injected motor in place of the original 6.6L TA motor?
Any replies would be appreciated.
thanks,
Ben
