This is in contrast to the 200 horsepower available from the previous 455 engine, and in sharp contrast to the 310 horsepower that was available just a few years before. The aforementioned 403 engine was available as an option, and increased horsepower to 185. Trans Am models were equipped with a 400 CID V8 that had been available the previous year, though horsepower dropped by five to 180.

That engine was still available as an upgrade option. This engine came standard with both the Esprit and the Formula models, which until 1977 came with a 350 CID engine producing 170 horsepower. The base V8 model was a new 301 CID engine rated at 135 horsepower. Instead, the base models included a Buick 231 CID six-cylinder that produced 105 horsepower, five less than the previous year’s 250 engine. For the first time since the Firebird was introduced in 1967, a 250 CID six-cylinder was not offered as the base engine. The engine lineup was nearly completely revised. Under the hood, however, things were quite different from the previous year. Visually, the front end change was the only major difference between the 19, but the updated front, commonly called the “Batmobile” nose, offered fresh styling for the car that was continuing to grow in popularity.
