shaker is factory, ... By: LDYBUG33. on 10 Oct 08, 16:31:31 shaker is factory, but I have an edelbrock manifold, and it lowers the shaker about an inch or so.
and, I cut out the back of the shaker, for more air intake.
the louvers are made by liftlouver, and were installed right away , when I bought the car in may of 1986.....
thanks for the the comment, and the kind words!

Pontiac stockpiled 5000 -----400 cubic inch 220hp
Motors that were made by Pontiac. they were stockpiled in 1978, for the 1979 production run.
Pontiac executives knew that more restrictrive emmissions were coming, (the olds 403 was used to meet the new standards) but they still wanted to have alot of HP avail to the public.
and the answer is shown in the video above...hahahaha

It's currently being restored but the motor and transmission are rebuilt and it runs. Just needs a tad bit body work. :p But I was lucky enough to trade a 84' Hurst (same as Cutlass Supreme) Oldsmobile for this rare find and $500.
Great car I have ... By: TripleThreat80. on 03 Jan 07, 08:05:46 Great car I have one almost just like it except it has the ralley 2 wheels painted blue, and the interior is all blue is that a custom shaker, louver on the back window is great, many people seem to disagree but they seem to be basing it on other cars that have louvers, the 3 piece louvers on T/As look great. Mine has the side windows and back window limo tint that really sets it off and keeps people from staring inside. Keep it clean and cruisin, T/As Rule!
