1978 Pontiac Trans Am FAST EZ EFI Fuel Injection Overdrive Engine Upgrades V8TV V8 Speed & Resto

This 1978 Pontiac Trans Am came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop more like a lame duck than a bird of fire, so our team went to work adding new rear gears, a 2004R overdrive transmission, a roller cam from COMP Cams, and a FAST EZ-2.0 EFI system for better driving manners. The Pontiac 400 engine even received an unexpected refresh along the way.

Some of the parts used in this upgrade:

Royal Purple - Max ATF and Max Tuff Synthetic Assembly Lube

B & M - Torque Converter Lock-up Controller

Tanks Inc - Fuel Tank, HP Fuel Pump and Sending Unit

Shiftworks - Shifter Conversion Kit

COMP Cams - Roller Cam, Roller Lifters, Push Rods and Roller Rockers

Eastwood - High Temp Ceramic Engine Paint

K&N - Air Filter

5-Speed Overdrive Manual Tremec TKO 600 Transmission Install in 1969 Chevelle

Overdrive transmissions provide many benefits to longevity and fuel consumption, and they are more fun to shift than automatics. In this series, the V8 Speed & Resto Shop crew installs a Tremec TKO 600 from Modern Driveline complete with a hydraulic throwout bearing assembly for easy action and a Superior clutch for positive grab behind the big block Chevy V8 in our 1969 Chevelle. The Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission handles 600 pound-feet of torque and the Modern Driveline kit puts the shifter in the original position on our ‘69 Chevelle.

Contact Modern Driveline for a kit designed for your classic or Muscle Car, or the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for a complete installation.
