I have the Hooker GN cat-back system on my 86 Cutlass with supercharged 3800 and sounds decent. At idle is pretty throaty sounding (mainly due to engine mods and cam) and a lot of people dont believe its a V6- BUT as most have said on here when you rev the engine or stand on it the sound goes...

I have a set on my 86 and I have GTA Fronts on the rear with a 1/4" spacer and Rears on the front with a 1" adapter. You dont need the spacer on the rear but I didnt care for how for in they set and I will be adding disc brakes to the rear eventually which will do about the same thing as the...

I had no luck at all with the latch bar in the hood. The plates on both sides had lots of body filler and it almost appears that the front side was done while the two halves of the hood were bonded together as the filler seemed to blend right into the fiberglass. After a few hours of getting...

The website suggests additional holddowns but this is a very robust hood, honestly I dont think it weighs any less than the stock steel hood! There is a lot of meat all the way around the parimeter. What burns me is that the hood is already painted and finished. It fits fine, just the latch...

Thanks, I will try to get ahold of him and see if he has any pics. The rod that the latch hooks onto is 1" off and I have no idea of it was custom made or came with the hood but either way I cant shut the hood until it comes off and there is body filler all over the inside of it that I have...

I picked up a near new W30 style USBody hood for my 86 Cutlass a few months ago and am putting it on the car now and running into a few snags. The USBody website is pretty hazy and really has no instructional help. The guy I bought it from supposedly had it on a car and parted it out. The...

Thanks for the info guys! I hadnt heard of the 98+ Fbody stuff being usable on these cars yet but looks promising although I would really like to have the option to put my 15" rims back for the track

I have never had problems with them but like I mentioned it has been a few years. I talked with Lynn a few times but that was probably about 6 years ago and since I heard Joe Mondello himself really didnt have much activity with the business anymore as was mentioned at the Mondello Nats at...

Yeah definately not a good idea using the rubber or cork end seals with the intake gasket kits. I worked at an engine machine shop building engines for a while and a Fel Pro rep came by once and said that the only reason they include those end seals is to be OE compliant but he suggested not to...

Everyone has already mentioned what I would suggest, which is definately toss the 7A heads for a set of earlier 307 5A heads. Something that I did not see is that you will also need to get a correct set of exhaust manifolds to match the 5A heads because the 7A heads used a log style tube...

I tried using the search but didnt have much luck and every return had multiple pages and when I would click "next page" it would say Item Not Found so maybe there is a search problem?? Anyways I am looking for info or WHO has personally done this swap. I came across a few sites that mentioned...

Here is the thread where I put some pics of the car and a little more info on it http://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=6 ... c&start=30 My 86 has gone through a LOT of changes over the years. It came with the 307 Y engine and tinkering got the best of me and caused a piston ring to break...

Thanks for the welcomes! I just put a few pics up in another thread for car pics. I am located in Fort Wayne, IN I guess I should add that in my profile. I dont advertise on here and dont want to get in trouble but my website tripleedgeperformance.com and if you have a grand prix than have...

Hello all, I have had my 86 Cutlass since march of 96 and has gone through lots of changes in that time. I have also had an excellent condtion 40K mile 83 Hurst along the way and an 86 442 which was actually my wifes car for a few years. I stumbled across this forum while searching for some...
