Depends on which "T/A" you are referring to. In that movie they used a total of 5 cars.
Two of them was specially built and designed for the Lemans that Pontiac never used.
Two of them just had the 5.7L 350 and only 1 of them had the 6.6L 400 (the film studio had to buy these three and their budget could only afford one 6.6L). The drive train was stock on these three however the suspension and other aspects of the cars was modified for filming. The body of the 2 5.7L cars was altered to match that of the 6.6L.
