PONTIAC 1979 Grand Am

[Racco]

I know a few guys with Olds 350's, they have gone through a few, hopefully it holds up.

I rarely drive more than 500km per year with the grand am, the t5 should last a life time.

Racco..……...I see you have the performance "ram air" exhaust manifolds on your car. Do you have any issue with clearance? Do you know what part they are? Thanks!

The manifolds fit fine without issue, they are the standard ram air three manifolds for the 1970 Firebird and gto.
The only negative is the weight, the manifolds must weigh 30 pounds each.

i didn’t want to use tube style headers as they cause leaks and hang low, besides I like the stock look. Years ago these ram air manifolds were so rare and impossible to find, making these reproduction manifolds a bargain. These manifolds don’t leak and don’t make that pinging sound of the thin tube headers. Headers may make more ultimate power but that wasn't my objective.

Nice grand am. Wish gm made more of them so they were as common as a malibu.

My sister had one when I was a kid, along with a 77 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ. I grew up with my mom having a 69 Grand Prix and a 77 cutlass supreme. To say the least I have grown up with nice GM cars.
