I had two Trans Am's. One ('75) had a 400 engine with a 4 speed. I think it was net rated around 180HP. It ran pretty well, but certainly wasn't a tire burner. I drove it one weekend and on Monday, I was hunting parts. It probably wasn't the right sequence, but the first thing I did was get rid of the exhaust system and replace with headers and dual exhaust. That in itself made performance MUCH better. It was better than I imagined! Next it was heads, cam and carb. I found a set of ram air heads in a local parts yard. [Fun fact: original compression ratio was 7.6 to 1 !] I bought a Crane Cam 9779068. I sat a 750 Holly on a edelbrock aluminum intake. I tuned the distributor with different weights and springs and a points-free Mallory Unilight. Oh and changed the rear to 4:10. I cannot emphasize the mountains of torque and horsepower this engine was now making. This just goes to show what a 400 was capable of without government mandates.

Good move on the intake. My uncle replaced the intake on his as the original apparently was not as good as the earlier intakes. I've got a buddy now that specializes in these engines and if you did a rebuild, would likely use the same heads, but up the compression with pistons. Luckily 75 was the cutoff date for smog rules in California. Too bad they don't do the 30 year rolling like they used to. Or maybe it was 20, I don't remember.

I ended up selling the Firebird after I moved to California as there was no way it would pass smog at that point. A family bought it, had it painted, gave it to their 16 year old son who totaled the car. I at least pulled the engine(before I sold it) and it still lives in my old Camaro in Indiana. I put a 305 in it before I sold it, still the kid wrecked it. Yep, built that 383 in 1990, and even now in 2021, I can still pull the car out of the garage and run 12's with it.
