Has anybody else seen this yet on Powerblock TV!?

They're taking a '78 Buick Century, sticking in a 461ci Pontiac motor putting out monster power, updating the drivetrain/suspension on it, and making it into the ultimate sleeper.

http://www.powerblocktv.com/player/show ... ep_show=HP

The Episode is still pretty new so there isn't any video up for it yet, but I would guess within the week it should be up. I can't wait to see what they do so I can steal a few ideas from them! :lol:

I was definately suprised when I saw the show saturday morning.
I almost bought that exact wagon about 4 years ago. The paint and wheels are dead give-aways.
The painted bumpers and the fact that '78-'79 Century's are the ugliest of all G-bodies are why I kept looking... :lol:
I ended up buying my Cutlass wagon a couple months later.

Awesome!
But.....
so much money.... I don't feel so good :oops: :puke:
I don't even wanna know how much those suspension parts cost. Especially if they're not even gonna take full advantage of them. It's like these guys only exist to mock my low income. :lol:

I always wonder how much they actually drive all the project cars they build..And I also want to know what Horsepower does with all the engines they build

Finally they're doing a GBody wagon! I can't wait to see it finished. It's definitely gonna be a power house. Wish I had the money to do that stuff to my wagon! lol

Pretty awesome wagon. I like the look of it, and like the color. Are the painted bumpers stock on that car?
I couldn't imagine that car being streetable with those low 4.56 gears...unless they're going with a 6-spd or overdrive.
I'll bet it'll be a fast ride, no doubt about it.
