Typically, if it is a super duty, you'll find "455SD" decals on the shaker scoop. If yours is a high output or standard engine, it will be badged as simply 4 5 5. If you're still unsure, the super duty utilised round port cylinder heads and an LS2 intake. It also included cast iron exhaust header-manifolds.
The 1987 Trans Am didn't have a 455
Answer Anonymously What is the diagram and firing order for a 76 Pontiac trans am 455 engine?
Which 455? Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac? The most powerful 1973 455 would be the Pontiac 455 Super Duty rated at 290hp @ 4000rpm. It was underrated, since factory stock examples were running 13.5-13.9 @ 103-107mph at the drags, which requires more than 290Hp. Car and Driver tested one with an automatic and it ran 13.751 @ 103.6 with a stock tires and a full tank of gas. The weight of a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am would require at least 350-375 hp to turn those numbers.
No, Pontiac stopped 455 production in 1976. They are easy to swap in though.
There were 1,968 Hardtops and 241 drop tops with a 455 / TH400 trans.

a 455 you need to buy a engine mount kit from national parts depot or just make it easy and weld them in place. I put in a 455 into a 1970 lemans, the car never came with a 455 but i had no problems mounting it in. Attach the motors mounts to the frame mounts put in the engine check and make sure it is level attach it to the trans then weld away yoy will love the 455 its a beast.
