    Taking time off from the GP

    My grand prix is good to go for now. I did pick up a new 2008 GP console that I plan to install shortly but I have another big project to work on for now. I also have a 1993 Jeep Wrangler that came with the 2.5 squirrel engine and a five speed. I have painted it, added a 4" lift new tires and...

    S10 brake upgrade

    I have searched all over and cant find a definitive answer. I am looking into purchasing a S10 4X4 to put the drivetrain in a YJ Wrangler jeep that I have. Will the front spindles and brakes work for the G Body conversion since it is 4X4? I realize they are set up for axles to come though but...

    Possible transmission donor

    I have searched the local yards for months and Craigslist at a distance that I can stand to drive for a T5 set up. I have not found one. I went to four yards today and found a 1983 Z28 with a four speed with an external shifter and mechanical clutch linkage behind a SBC. Most likely a 305, not...

    Word Crimes

    I see a lot of posts on there that you can hardly read and barely understand. It seems to be a pet peeve of a lot of people these days. You have to listen to weird Al's new song, Word Crimes. It speaks for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

    LED tail lights and new seats

    a while back someone wanted to see the 2005 Grand Prix GTP seats and console in one of our cars. Mine was in storage. Also just finished my LED tail lights. I cut the back of the light out between the mounting studs and installed the LED's and then epoxied the backs back on. I went a different...

    700R4 SWAP JUNKYARD DRIVESHAFT

    I have heard this mentioned and asked for on here several times. I have found one common shaft that will work and another that should. A 1994 Chevrolet Astro van or GMC Safari 2WD has a rear shaft that measures 49.75". The front yoke is the same as our G bodies. The rear is a 1350 series but a...

    Pontiac/GM work shirt

    Has anybody seen one of these? It was just given to me by a coworker that worked with Pontiac in the 80's. It is dated 1985 inside. I was told it was a plant work/welding shirt from the Pontiac plant. Very heavy cotton made by Lee with snaps not buttons.

    Cruise control installation

    I really want to add cruise to my GP. I have searched here and a lot of other sites and a lot of folks are picking up the 90's GM all electric modules from a pull a part and installing them. They are very simple and need only a brake signal and a few other connections but they are mostly using...

    What to do????

    Well I am finished with my 86 Grand prix build. Well finished may not be the right word since we are always adding and refining. Anyway I have the 26,500 mile 3.8 V6 and transmission that I cant seem to give away and am always building something. What would you build and put the V6 in? I am thinking...

    Another seat swap question NEED HELP!!

    I have several options on new seats for my 86 Grand Prix. I just picked up a rough set of G body buckets that need new covers and buns. But I was at a local yard today getting a console and found a 2005 Grand Prix GTP that has a VERY nice set of leather front buckets and rear leather. Has...

    How to make a stock 2004R last

    I currently have a stock turbo 350 behind a mildly built Vortec SBC estimated HP just under 400 and 3:42 posi gears. No racing, just a street car. I would love to go to overdrive for cruising. I like the idea of the smaller 2004R over a 700R4 but honestly don't see putting big bucks in a race...

    Grand Prix vinyl top trim clips

    I just finished installing my new top. The car came with a factory top. I have looked at several suppliers for the molding clips and the ones listed most places say they are 9/16" wide. This seems too wide for my trim. Does anybody have a GM part number for this slip? Clips and fasteners lists...

    86 Grand Prix well on its way

    No need to start a build thread, all of this stuff has been covered several times. Just wanted to show some of my past few weeks work. I hope to drop the engine in one night this week, then the paint prep starts.

    CCC system question

    I have searched this to death and frankly there is a lot of conflicting information. I have an 86 GP that came with a 3.8. I have built a Vortec engine and a turbo 350 to install and have no need for the computer control system for the engine, especially with the distributor I will be using. I...

    GP Speedometer

    I have looked everywhere lately but I thought I had found a speedometer overlay that made the speedometer either 120 MPH or 140MPH a while back. I would love to change mine. Also does anybody make a white face set for the GP?

    Great day at the salvage yard

    I have been all over eastern NC looking for parts cars with little luck. For some reason there are no GP's to be found and very few other G bodies. I was headed to a local mom and pop yard this morning in 24 degree weather and for some reason they were not open on time. I drove past and before I...

    Roof replacement

    I have found an 87' Cutlass in the local yard with the Astro roof. Will the entire Cutlass roof fit an 85' Grand prix? The work is not a problem, just wondered if the roof was the same?

    Rear end swap question

    I have read every thread on here on rear end swaps but am still confused. I am building a vortec to go in my GP and am expecting around 375 HP. I plan to drive the car and will punch it at times but never plan to race. I currently have an open 7.5" with 2something gears. Now I know an 8.5" out...
