The 335-hp 455 High Output was the only engine in the '71 Trans Am. To create the 455 HO, Pontiac borrowed the cylinder heads andcamshaftfrom the previous year's 345-hp Ram Air 400, and added the aluminum intake manifold from the rowdy 370-hp 400 Ram Air IV.

The 455 had less advertised power than the '70 T/A mills, and it couldn't wind as high. But at 8.4:1 compression (compared to 10.5:1 for the retired Ram Air 400s), it could run happily on a wider range offuels, was less temperamental than the Ram Air IV, and with 480 lb-ft oftorqueat a usable 3600 rpm, it packed a real wallop around town. Plus, it had four-bolt mains for strength.
