Pontiac V8 Engines - Photographing Legends
|
Though the 301 was introduced in '77 as Pontiac's attempt at a lightweight V-8, aimed at maximum fuel economy, the Division's final high-performance V-8 came when a turbocharger was added to it. Generating around 200 hp, the 301 Turbo was limited to the '80-'81 Firebird Formula and Trans Am, and was backed by an automatic transmission and 3.08 gears. This particular 301ci Turbo is oddly equipped with a manual-transmission bellhousing. It was likely added for photographic purposes only. View Related Article
