1977 Pontiac Firebird LS3 Swap Restomod: From Classic to 530hp Pro-Touring Beast!
V8 Speed and Resto Shop took a classic 1977 Firebird and transformed it into a pro-touring monster. They added some "Bad" to the Bandit spirit for Trans Am fans!
This wasn't your average T-Top Trans Am - it was a non-T-Top model that received a major performance overhaul.
At the heart of this transformation was a brand new LS3 V8 engine. This beast pumped out a whopping 530 horsepower, a far cry from the original engine's output. To handle all that extra power, the shop installed a 4L70E overdrive transmission.
V8 Speed and Resto knew that a pro-touring car needed to handle corners well, so they outfitted this Trans Am with a Global West suspension system. This upgrade ensured precise handling and confidence-inspiring grip.
Comfort was also important. The shop didn't forget about everyday usability and installed a Vintage Air A/C system to keep things cool on hot summer days.
To keep the driver informed, they replaced the classic instrument cluster with a modern Dakota Digital gauge setup, providing all the essential information in a clear and stylish way.
The V8 Speed and Resto Shop is ready to perform a stock and original restoration or build a high performance restomod Trans Am for you. Contact us anytime to chat about your project goals!

Wow, what kind comment! Thanks for sharing... and we always dig McQ! Stay blessed as well!
Nice job Kevin. One of a handful of cars I wish I never sold😢
Excellent as always! I'm not a patina guy, but the condition of this car, with the mods you've done, make it a perfect candidate to drive an enjoy. In other words, one stone chip won't ruin your whole day. Dig the mods, the execution, and the final results. Thanks for sharing ~ Chuck

Nice to see a restomod project that keeps it looking so original. Very tasteful. Functional shaker would be pretty cool.

Nice job guys. This is what it should have been but thanks to you guys this car has the right stuff finally.
Updated go fast and quicker stoppers. The year 1 wheels are cool , no need to respray looks fine as is. Enjoy it...
Beautiful car. Would take that over any modern car.
This is exactly what I would have done other than the trans. Got to have a manual. I wouldn’t have cared about the cosmetics either. Just get it back on the road.
Sweeeet !!!!
Nice one!

Just bought a 79 10th Anniversary, 400 4-speed, 20k Original miles. Of course, I want to spoil it and do modifications! I called these guys multiple times for advice. I spoke with Joe each time and let me tell you. That guy was soooo accommodating and freely shared advice and answered all my questions. I would not hesitate to use guys to do my car. Thank You Joe!!!

Thanks for the kind feedback, Joe does a great job of helping customers land on what they want and is their guide throughout the process. Glad you enjoy chatting with him, he's a huge part of what the V8 experience is all about, and he is really passionate about the cars, the owners, and their stories.. as you can tell! Thanks also for reaching out, we're always happy to help!
That's what I want🤤
It has the looks...but it doesn't have the sound. The Pontiac 400 sings a very unique song. But so long as the customer is happy.
Great build. How much?
Great work as always, I always look forward to the videos!!
