Well, as my family grows it is time to sell my Trans Am. At this point, I just rarely drive it. I have had this for 4 years and the build has been a slow and thorough one. Using some of the best parts.



1979 Trans Am factory equipped with air conditioning, 4 wheel disc brakes, and power windows.

I will try to be as detailed a possible overall.

I purchased the vehicle with a Pontiac 400 that had spun a rod bearing. It had a 200R4 in it as well. We pulled both the motor and transmission and decided to go the LS swap route.



Quite a bit of work completed by R&P Machine Shop.



ENGINE

I purchased a 6.0L engine. LY6 engine(came out of a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD) that had 65k miles on it from a local salvage yard. From that point I took the engine to XP Racing to have it gone through. Engine was gone through and looked great.



At that point, I decided to upgrade the cam. So more was upgraded. Here is what was added during the time at XP:



*LS3 Monster camshaft

LIFT- Intake .598, Exhaust .612

DURATION- Intake 235, Exhaust 244

*Texas Speed & Performance .650" Lift Valve Spring Kit

*Texas Speed & Performance 7.400" Chromoly Pushrods

*Texas Speed & Performance VVT Delete kit

PERFORMANCE

This car was dyno tuned after the build and it made 407RWHP.



I also have a walk around video of the car if requested.



Air conditioning/heater/blower is not currently working. Factory air conditioning ducts are still in the car, but vehicle will come with a compressor, dryer, and condenser from a 2002 F Body as I was going to install that over the winter.

I took a lot of pride in getting this car where it is today. Very careful planning and choosing installers that had the best reputations.

Paint is nice. Not perfect, but really nice.

I have over over 33k total invested in this car. I have folders full of receipts that will come with the car.

PM sent, with a kid on the way a Vette might not suit you, but it might be easier for you to sell. I'd throw a little cash in too if the car is as clean as it looks.

Sent you the info anyway.
