I traded my 90 SSP Mustang for a 77 Trans Am. It has the 6.6L (400 with special heads) a positrac rear end, and a turbo 400 automatic tranny. The interior is almost perfect, the console is the only thing needing work.

MPG?? you mean GPM? it'll pass everything but a gas station.
Rapture- I like the SSP, but mine was in sorta poor condition, and I love these T/As....

as far as I can tell, it has an edelbrock 4 bbl, m/t valve covers, an accel distributor, and twelve inch wide keystones on the back (with bald tires, of course 
)

I thought the change from the designation 400 to 6.6 coincided with when they switched from the venerable Pontiac 400 to the Oldsmobile 403??? Is this not the case?

according to this website I found: A revitalized Pontiac 400 was offered in 1977 to take the place of the recently departed 455. Named "T/A 6.6" (6.6 stood for 6.6 litres or 6600 cc, denoting GM's newfound affection for the metric system)the new engine featured a bumped up compression ratio (now 8.1: vs. 7.6:1) by bolting the smaller combustion chambered cylinder heads from the Pontiac 350 onto the 400 block. The cylinder heads were part number 500801 (the same as the 350 heads). Horsepower was bumped by twenty over the "base" Pontiac 400 motor and peak torque still equalled 325 lb/ft, but occurred 800 rpm higher in the rev range (2400 rpm). Engine ID codes for the T/A 6.6 were WV with a four speed and YG woth the automatic.
