Nascar Pace and Safety car, Y85 option. Not really known as a Recaro edition, lol at seller. 1 of 2000.

Not sure what PMD was thinking on color combos here.

My buddy had two of those 301 turbo T/As. The power was not impressive. Sad

My buddy loved those cars though. I could never figure out why. He finally wised up and bought an IROC. Wink

While weak for a turbo engine, the 301 was still more powerful then an L69. It was supposed to be the engine in hte early TA thus the same hood, but was killed at the last minute.

210 hp @ 4000 rpms and 345 ft lbs @ 2000 rpms for the turbo motor. 140 -155 hp @ 4400 rpms and 240 ft lbs @ 2200 rpms for the n/a motor, about the same as an LG4. Cool

L69 was 190hp. The lg4 started out as 150hp and increased to 170hp. I see my original statement can be read that the 301 could have been na in the 3d gen. I was only talking about the turbo version.

I also see that the 80-81 HO version of the 301 was rated at 170hp na.

I would be curious to know if that 210hp/345ft-lbs was anywhere close to reality. Raced one of those with my '88 LB9. not. even. close. Blew him away.

TransAm and formula. Was the base engine for the TA.

From 1977-1981 there were 4 distinct 301 versions:

301 2BBL (135 hp), 301 4BBL (150 hp), 301 4BBL 'HO' or 'EC' (170 hp), and the 301 Turbo (210 hp).

What could be better.. 2 iron dukes hooked together and then turbo'd! Laughing

Twilightoptics · Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 7:39 pm Post subject:

2 Iron dukes with proper compression.

LOL.. joking anyway. Pontiac made some bad decisions with the 301.. lightening the crank to the point of breakage and bad balance.. and for performance.. making the heads with shared intake ports. Shocked
