Q: How much would it cost to rebuild the 403 oldsmobile engine for my 79 Trans am?
Due to higher gas prices I’ve recently decided not to put in the 454 and instead just have the original 403 olds rebuilt in my 79 Trans am. I don’t have the tools to do this myself, so I am trying to get a ball park figure of how much this is going to run me for.

A: FYI, MPG won’t be much different for 454 from 403. Proper rebuild if you do it yourself with machine costs about 1500. If someone else does it all, probably about 3 or 4 grand.

Q: Will the seats out of a 78 camaro fit in a 79 trans am?
I am wondering if these will bolt right up. I don’t want to have to do any modifications. Thanks
I dont have the original seats for the trans am and that is the car I am fixing up. I have a 78 camaro with original seats that can be redone

A: The floor pans should be identical, with the bolt hole locations in the exact same place. The seats should swap without incident.

Like the other post said, if you find out that’s a problem, the seat tracks should swap over between the two – the tracks will unbolt off the bottom – swap them over.

Q: hypothetically, is it a good idea to have a ‘79 trans am as a daily driver?
lets say you are a student with a ‘79 trans am and you live a few miles from the school, drive there 6 days a week back and forth, and a few days a week drive about 30 mins to nearby locations.
Also is it a bad idea to drive a ‘79 trans am in an area where you get snow, even if only a few miles?

Not a show car, just a good solid trans am…

A: Sure, if it runs and drive good. drive it. They are terrible in the snow.

Q: I just bought a ‘79 trans am…would it be a good/bad idea to put the ‘77 firebird on the hood?
It’s the original red paint but I think it looks ugly. It already has black leather interior and I want to paint it the bandit colors but I like the ‘77 firebird decal more. Would it be frowned apon to put the ‘77 decal on a ‘79?

A: go for it. its your car. if any one should have a problem with it, they can go buy thier own car and not put a decal on it

Q: How Much HP will i get if i put a vette Z06 engine in a 79 trans am?
im just wondering and how much does a vette engine cost?

A: the same as it is in the vette. but it wont feel the same cause the trans am is much heavier. add a turbo or supercharger and get back that vette feeling and much more.
A new vette engine is gonna set you back around 18k plus more for trans and computer. Probably around 22k for all. Thats if you get a brand new aluminum ls7 motor. If you did that you would have one bad ass 79 trans am…check out this site for reference
