I am finally getting around to posting some info on my build!
I entered an original post March 2017 and I’ll start this by including my original text and then I will be adding as time permits:
Hi All!
Got this 1978 Pontiac Grand Prix from my Dad. It has about 23000 miles on it. He was the second owner and restored it to "like new" original condition (it sat under a tree, uncovered, for quite awhile!) I have always been fond of the g body cars and I was floored when dad gave it to me! I drove it for a couple seasons and enjoyed it but I really missed the potential muscle car hidden beneath this hood. In the shop it went and should be done here shortly, I'll update as I have time. Can't wait for spring!
Out: stock 301, 3 speed transmission, column shift, springs, shocks, wheels, tires, rear end, upper and lowers, sway bars
In: 400 stroker 650 hp, 4 speed 200-r4, floor shift, 30 spline Detroit Locker and a bunch of other stuff!
Will upload pics soon
