What are the thoughts on a 76 trans am with a Pontiac motor in it, 8.5 ten bolt, th400 trans would it make a buget minded stocker.

TH400 "eats" up a lot of HP ... just sayin' . Also a TH350 has a better 1st gear in a budget build.

Which engine ? Neither one is particularly great. The 400 would be okay in L/SA , where there are not a lot of cars to bother you.
Forget the 400..Look around for a T350 with a 2.75 low and some light parts...Minimum.

My apologies it's a th350, and the motor is a 1969 Pontiac 350

I guess I'm stuck with a pontiac, I was told 78 was the only year you can run a chevy motor but I dont no how true that is. Trying to make my stuff work seems like a upward battle
