Rescuing An ABANDONED 1981 Trans Am! Will It Run and Drive After 18 Years?

"He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour." - Proverbs 21:21
Drew is helping out some family by getting this 1981 Trans Am back up and running after 18 years. He gave me a call to help get this one owner 80s icon back on the road where it belongs!

Problem with the 301 is the cylinder head. The valves and ports are just too small; even a healthy cam won't help much. The Chevy 305, on the other hand, can make decent horsepower with even a small cam.

That isn’t a 301, it’s a 305 or a 350 somebody swapped in. You can tell by the valve covers and the decal says 5.0 when if it were a 301 it would be a 301. Anyways, he said the engine had only 300 miles on it and it wasn’t the original engine. I bet it’s a gm good wrench 350 crate motor that’s been warmed over.

fun fact: you can tell an 81 from an 79 or 80 from the rear because the bird emblem on fuel filler door was 81 only.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

And the bird on the hood is just a sketch rather than being shaded in, AND the 81 has a check engine light, first year. If the turn signal indicators in the dash are arrows, its a 79, 80-81 are round.

Awesome that you got the TransAm going again, that it only had some minor issues, that is a true rare bird, the color, standard shift, stop, among many other options Dylan you and the friend have made that bird go again,👍👍👍👍👍👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love the scriptures you include in the caption of your videos. I pray God blesses you, friend! :)
