Delving below the surface of the Firebird produces plenty of positive news. What we find is a 350ci V8, a 4-speed manual transmission, and power steering. This combination should make the Firebird a frisky performer because the driver will have 265hp at their disposal. If you think that th...
in 1980 a 3.8 L V6 was available for the first time, followed by a 350 cid V8 diesel in 1981. In 1987, the first Grand Prix with electronic fuel injection was available, through a 4.3 L V6. Unfortunately
Pontiac had planned to offer a 1975 GTO, again based on the compact Ventura and powered by a Pontiac-built 350 CID V8. The Ventura and other GM compacts underwent substantial styling and engineering changes, the latter including front and rear suspensions similar to the sporty Firebird. In the...

Engines ranged from a budget-grade 140-bhp 3.1 V-6 to a 240-bhp 350-cid/5.7-liter V-8. Though everyone knew a fresh Firebird was just two years off, Pontiac sprang a surprise at mid-1991 with its first convertible ponycar in more than two decades. Offered in base, Formula, and T/...
particularly in its small-displacement versions. The 350 was a good 70 pounds (32 kg) heavier than a Chevrolet 350 and more than 100 pounds (46 kg) heavier than the Ford 302 cu. in. (4,942 cc) V8, which had adverse effects on weight distribution and fuel economy, particularly for sma...

The space frame was very rigid, incorporating a wide, stiff central spine that contained the car’s 10.2-gallon (38.6-liter) fuel tank. As with the driveshaft tunnel of the1958 Ford Thunderbird(which served a similar structural function), the spine extended up into the cabin, where the sty...
