I am an active member on several other sites, TAC, 78TA.com, and pro-touring.com. My name is Ryan and I am the owner of a 1976 Trans Am. The only real flaw with my car is that it has created an enormous hole right in the middle of my wallet... I have owned the car for about 7 years. I bought it when I was a Junior in High School and have been working on it ever since. I am finally about ready to call it finished enough to take it out and get it on the road. I will post a few pictures of what I started with and where I am now. I have been toying with the idea of puttin an LS engine in my car so I thought that I would come over here and see what others were doing. Here is my build.



















Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Ryan

Welcome. Nice build. Obviously I'm biased.

Welcome to the sight. And Im digging the idea of a LS swap, it's one of my fantasy projects

I love the power from the Pontiac engine, but would like the mileage/consistancy that the LS engines can produce.

I do get teased alot but my response is 'traction is not an issue'.

It has a purpose and i think it looks good.

+1,000 for the LS swap. I'm going to build an LS '77 TA before I die.

I'd love to have one like that! I was thinking a '78 and I'd go with gold rims. I wouldn't think twice of doing a 5.7 or 6.0 lsx swap in that
