1973 Pontiac Trans Am Fuel Injection and Overdrive Install at V8 Speed & Resto Shop

We recently upgraded this super-cool 1973 Pontiac Trans Am with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system and a Gear Vendors Overdrive unit. The car now has new-car driving manners and a snappy throttle, and the highway RPM has been dropped for better economy and easier cruising, all without changing the classic look. This one has it all... a Butler Performance Pontiac 455, A/C, even a working 8-track stereo! At the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, we love doing upgrades like these to make Classics and Muscle Cars more fun to drive and enjoy! What can we do for you?

1973 Pontiac Trans Am Fuel Injection and Overdrive Upgrades at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop

Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Engine Swap and Suspension Upgrades at V8 Speed and Resto Shop Part 1

This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was running the original 180 horsepower Oldsmobile 403 V8 engine, but our customer wanted more horsepower and better performance from his black TA.    He brought the car to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for a conversion to a GM Performance Parts LS3 V8 backed by a 4L70E 4-speed automatic transmission making over 480 horsepower. 

However, upon inspection, the Trans Am revealed some rusty floors and previous repair work that was not up to the owner’s standards.   The V8 team replaced the bad sheet metal with all new floors from Classic Industries and fabricated a custom firewall. 

Once the shell was solid again, they swapped in a complete Street Grip suspension system from Ridetech for better cornering and straight-line traction as well.    Upgraded brakes from Wilwood were installed, along with a set of 17” Snowflake wheels from YearOne and new Nitto tires.
