From 1977 until 1981.
yes. the last year of any Pontiac v8 was the 301 in 81. the standard engine in the 82 and up firebirds was the corporate engine-the Chevy 305
12 degrees before top dead center vacuum advance disconnected and plugged emergency brake on wheels chocked transmission in drive with idle set at 500 rpm.
too much, that engine was a POS from the factory, I know I own one. get a nice 350, 400, or 455 Pontiac if you want to go retro. Turbos work just fine on them and there a whole lot cheaper and more reliable than that 301
The 350 that year had a measly 160 h.p.
I believe edelbrock makes a selection of intake manifolds for the 4.9. I have a carb 4.9 in an 81, I'm thinking of getting one.The 301 (4.9) Pontiac was pretty much a one off engine. To date, I know of no one that makes any type of performance intakes for it. Most people rip out the 301 and drop in a 350, 400...whatever.....since it will bolt right in. The only options you have is the factory 301 4bbl intake......or going to the T/A turbo unit.
Yes, it is easy if you have a complete engine to swap. The only differences are the flywheel, starter, exhaust manifolds (really close to the same, can be made to work) and placement of the carb if we are talking about a second generation f body with a shaker scoop. The 301 is a short deck version of the traditional Pontiac V8, and as long as you are swapping the entire engine there are few issues to deal with.
yup you can most certainly make it work v8 Archie has the clutch stuff
If it is a pontiac V8 they all use the firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
It's actually a Pontiac 301 engine. One with a 2-barrel carb had 135 hp, 4-barrel carb had 150 hp. There was also a 301 4-barrel 'HO' or 'EC' with 170 hp, and the 301 Turbo with 210 hp. I imagine the Regal came with the 2 barrel carb unless it's a GS in which case it probably has the 4.
Either a 301 (standard), or a 350 or 400 V8
Year, make, and model of vehicle?
You can put a V8 in anything. Just depends on how much fabrication you want to do.
