Well I love my Chevy Trans Am then. 430 dependable, smog legal horsepower instead of an 180hp L78 400 is such a better experience. It’s a ton of fun to drive now.

So what if it’s equipped with an incorrect 428 engine and 15” wheels.

It’s a Judge.

Both upgrades anyway for those who don’t fret about correctness and easy to change.

It’s bolt-in, however using later accessories and pulleys that match the 455 will make your life easier.
