Vidio of it running. I got hosed by member 408trans_am on this forum on the custom T/B it pretty much took my money and ran, he probably has a new name on here by now. but im not ganna let that hinder my project I found the exact same T/B he sells on ebay it might of been where he got the pictures from. right now i threw the stock throttle body on and a test air intake.

A custom intake will be built for the final application.

This vidio already pissed off a girl I use to know who is pretty much nuttin but a gold digger and I warn everyone about her. her exact words to me is why would I put a TRANS AM MOTOR in a PIECE OF **** CHEVY and ruin such a great pontiac motor LOL. She drives a V6 firebird btw, she hates chevys cause I got one, I tried to explain to her she drives one herself. She is the true definition of a hater LOL. She saw the vidio and made a comment about how STUPID the intake looked too. but I think anyone with some sense can tell thats not permanent.

Nice install. I like the "test drive" video.

1st gear... squeal... check!
2nd gear... chirrrp... check!
3rd gear... chirp... check!
downshift and brakes... check!

Everything is good, ship it back to the customer with a spare pair of rear tires.
Have fun!

Excellent project and great documentation, man! That engine looks right at home in there and it sounds great! I just saw your dyno numbers in the other section, congrats!

Did I read right on the headers? 1-1/4"?

1 and 3/4 header primaries, the shift plate is from keisler I think it just sticks to the area where the auto plate was.
