Trans Am with an LO3???

Happy17yearold has a 1988 T/A with the LO3 in it? I've never ever heard of this engine coming in a T/A. Did it happen often?

I've got a Formula with an L03, and the Formula got the trans am engines. Many Trans Am's have the base engine. Before the L03 they got the LG4 for the base engine, and that did happen often too.

I agree with Keith5. I've seen a few '85-'87 IROC's with the base LG4 engine.
