1977 Trans Am Restoration, page 3.
It has been away at the shop now for nearly 2 months, and I have given up hope of having it by the 4th of July weekend. But, here are some of the goodies that I bought for the rebuild:
SA Gear True roller double roller timing chain
Holley 850 Double Pumper with a K&N carb stack and one inch spacer!
Keith Black KB347 .085 dome pistons
Close up of one of the pistons
SFI spec 18:1 chrome fluid dampner
New B&M Console Megashifter!
Close up of the B&M T-handle
Pic of the newly rebuild TH400 transmission
New 3" OD chrome side pipes to be installed
Here is what the T/A will look like with the new side pipes installed:
I think the pipes will look badass!
Engine Update!

Here are a few pictures of the finished block with the new pistons, cam and crank installed:
Cool! Plum Crazee Purple!
I just wanted it to be different!
This was the old timing chain. It got the new double roller replacement!
Shiny new Keith Black dome pistons!
Engine Update #2!
August 30, 2005.
Here are a few new pictures of the motor. Now the heads, intake, carb, valve covers, fluid harmonic balancer and waterpump are all installed:
Almost finished. Now that's a beautiful sight!
This purple monster should make 500+HP!
I kept the old Mickey Thompson valve covers, but they will get polished.
Pure Pontiac Power baby!!!
Yeah, that's my ugly mug in the last picture...
