I have to warn you that it must have been a humid day because all of Dan’s pictures from here on out are cloudy. All 1971 Trans Ams were equipped with the top engine option for 1971 from Pontiac. The HO455 cubic inch V8 engine was rated at 335 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque...
This is the first year that the 455 cubic inch V8 engine was available in the GTO. The base engine for 1970 was the Ram Air III 400 cubic inch V8 and the two optional engines were the Ram Air IV 400 cubic inch V8 and the 455 HO cubic inch V8 engine. This was a D-Port engine ...
The 455 HO engine did not reappear, but GM initially announced the availability of a Super Duty 455 engine (shared with the contemporary Pontiac Trans Am SD455), and several such cars were made available for testing, impressing reviewers with their power and flexibility. Nevertheless, the Super...

The driveshaft's slight sag allowed a lower transmission tunnel in front, though not in back; it also eliminated the need for U-joints and permitted softer engine mounts for better interior isolation. The rear transaxle, a first for Detroit (but not the world), made Tempest less nose-heavy...
and the engine does run. It isn’t clear whether it is roadworthy, but there’s no doubt that everything is going to require some significant cleaning and detailing if it is to present at its best once again. We just need to hope that this will be the extent of the required work, ...
Like the interior, the engine compartment is really clean. The engine is a 400 cubic inch V8 backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. While not as potent as the 455, the 400 does well to motivate these cars and when combined with the manual transmission, they are no slouches on the str...
done. For example, while both cars came with a 230 cubic inch six-cylinder as standard equipment, the Pontiac had an overhead camshaft and put out 25 more horses than the Chevy. The seller’s car, one of 10,500 built that way in 1967, had the OHC engine – at least for a while....
