I appreciate the fact that you actually kept the shaker a shaker. I know a lot of people over the years just screwed them to the hoods instead of the carbs and I hate that.
I bought a new 2001 WS6 Trans Am, 6- speed T-top. Short headers, tune, Small cam, 373 gears.. 370 RWHP. Put a smile on my face every time I drove it.. 3rd gear on factory tires , Side ways at 60 MPH.. Had to put nittos 315s on it..
Gorgeous Trans Am. I have a black hardtop 1980 Trans Am that I'm planning on building a LS2 for with the 4L80E transmission. Does the shaker still shake pretty good with the LS swap?
@@reeltoreelauto-9719 sweet, thanks for the reply. Can you do a video on just that if you get a chance. I'd truly appreciate it. There's not many videos out there on that particular subject.
I dont blame ya for taking it easy. Those 4l60's dont survive to many hard launches. Upgrade to a 4l80e & throw on a turbo or two. You may want to swap out the 10 bolt as well.
The whole swap including the engine and transmission only cost $3500. It makes 320hp at the crank, gets 20mpg on the highway, at 70mph. I would say thats quite an improvement over the 200 horsepower that the original turbocharged 301 made.
@@reeltoreelauto-9719 301 Turbo should never been allowed to be produced-- 301 period !!! 403 CI. didn't even belong in a Pontiac !!! Buddy had a '79 400 4 speed that kicked ass ! Guess I was comparing your's to that--- sorry man, my mistake !!!
Well, there is technically no bandit trans am for any year, so I’m not really sure what your point is. Everyone knows that bandit trans am is the generic term for a black and gold special edition second gen.
I was in high school when this car came out. I thought it was the coolest thing. It still is cool. Never got the chance to own one. Nice job.

Thank you very much! It doesn’t move very much when idling, but it moves pretty good under heavy acceleration.

@@paceta80 I will do my best to get you some video of it.
Love it
thank you very much! keep checking back in on the channel. We plan to do some more detailed videos on this car, along with some other builds.

You aint lying lol😂
Looking Good!
This has got to be in Texas.
No sir, Alabama.
Super Nice! 🔥🔥🔥How did you mount the Shaker to the Engine?
Thanks! I made a bracket out of some flat stock and angle iron. The bracket bolts to the fuel rails.
@@reeltoreelauto-9719 nice… you should make more and sell them!!! 🤔
Where did you get the led headlights
They’re from Amazon. I think they’re about $40 each, but they work great.
Can you send the link ?

Hi, how much horsepower?
On the dyno It made 262hp and 303tq to the wheels. So that would be around 320hp at the crank.
Why the music
Next time put louder music
What gauges are those? Nice ride.
They are Marshall instruments gauges. I got them from eBay.
@@reeltoreelauto-9719 thanks
Lotta effort involved in the LS swap with not much/ or any gain at all--- complete waste of time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!!!!
