new (used)car
I sold my honda civic. i just bought an 85 trans am, automatic, with the 5.7 I'm a brand spanking newbie to the f-body, but it looks and feels so much better than the econobox. 
does anyone know how many horses that engine puts out? its all stock by the way.

If its a real 5.7, its not stock, therefore it may be harder to tell. The reason I say this is because a 350 was not offered until '87 in the 3RDGEN.
Probably 220-245 if it is actually a 350.

I bet it's a 305 and the previous owner thought it was a 350. It's amazing how many people think the 5.0s are 5.7s ..even Chevy service mechanics.

The 85 5.0 was so hot that many people seemsed to mistake it for a 350.
