1982 Pontiac Trans Am

I haven't updated this in while..not much changed, I drove it all summer made it to 5 street legal nights best time was a 15.33 at 88mph.

I added a H-pipe to the exhaust



after the exhaust the car was running alittle lean, when I went to change the jets my elcheapo chrome fuel line twisted off




I may have got carried away with AN fittings and braided line again but I like this setup alot better, I don't even have to take the fuel lines off to change jets. I didn't have a 90* degree fitting so the line for the rear bowl is alittle long.

a few pictures of the car going away for the winter



since its that time of year again I've been collecting parts,

black door panels, almost done converting my interior to black, debating on leaving the headliner and seats grey.


this is completely over kill for my engine but it was shiny and...I'll just leave it at that..lol
fully adjustable mechanical/vacuum advance with a built in rev limiter






comp XE262H cam and all the required parts for it




comp magnum 1.52 roller tip rockers



this should be a fun winter.

haven't updated this for awhile, I finished doing the cam swap.


but it didn't really have any more power than it did before. best pass before was a 15.35 at 88mph after it went 14.93 at 93 mph, shoulda known better the bottom end was done.

I also got sick of dragging the exhaust on every bump or dip in the road went back to a 3" single with a flowmaster 80
this was my first try at building a y-pipe

So did you scrap the other engine or put the new cam/springs/rockers in the L98? Cool looking car, just making sure I am following the progress here Very Happy

I put the cam/springs/rockers in the 305 drove it for probably 3 weeks then it started smoking really bad. I tore it down and found 3 broken rings, one piston was different from the other 7, and the two center main bearings were down to copper. The L98 is still stock

Every time you re-up this thread I remember how much I like the look of this car. Cool

Any reason the cam didn't make it into the new motor?

I'm guessing the 305 was flat tappet and the L98 is roller.
