• Answer:

  actually the 77' and up with the Oldsmobile motors were damn good cars, there is nothing wrong with the Olds motors at all, in fact they were more powerful and had more torque than the Pontiac motors, and out of all my years dealing with Firebirds and Trans ams I've never heard of an Oldsmobile motor coming from the factory with an aluminum intake??? The more powerful Trans Ams were the early 70's. Pre- 72' in fact, 72 is when all cars had to go to the smog heads, smaller valves, smaller ports, all that good stuff. If your looking at a pre-72 model your looking at some serious money. All of these cars from 69' to 81' are becoming highly collectible and sought after. Also, they had power window options all the way back to the 69' Trans Ams. Alot of people got caught up in the frenzy at first when they put the Olds motors in them, but got over it quick when the olds cars ran away from the Pontiac cars, but for some the olds was accepted graciously. I for one cannot stand a Chevy motor being put into one, that yanks my chain.
