Pontiac Firebird Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1970–1981) — Second Generation
The second-generation Pontiac Firebird pairs a long hood with rear-wheel drive and a broad range of powertrains, giving you scope to choose between relaxed cruising and a more muscular coupe experience.
Your Pontiac Firebird engine and transmission choice shapes how the coupe feels. Selected examples include the 3.8 AT for convenient automatic shifting and the 3.8 MT for direct control over gear changes. The 5.7 MT combines stronger pulling power with a manual gearbox; each uses rear-wheel drive.
