Topic: 77 Y82 engine breakdown

[72blackbird]

I'm sure this topic has been covered before, but does anyone know where I can get production info on how many 77 Y82's got a 400? Did any even get a 403?

So the 403 (L80) was an option on 77 SE T/A's? Interesting someone would choose a 403 Olds over a 400 Pontiac.

Places like California who have strict emissions laws or places like Colorado that are high altitude were federally mandated to have the Olds 403

Yes they did not have an option, if you wanted a Pontiac engine you had to cross statelines, and bring it back to califiornia.
