Holy crap, ive been requested! Probably been whored out a bit and I wasnt going to enter since its a basterdized car but Ill throw it it.
Always wanted a GN (actually a 86/87 silver Ttype) but most 15 year olds cant afford one. Bought the car with a 455 J headed olds that was painted canary yellow sitting on V6 frame mounts. Couldnt fit an aircleaner, alternator bracket hit the hood, a hole was literally cut in the firewall to get the distrubtor to fit, manfolds 2.25" outlet just happened to dump into a 2.5" 90 and back into the stock exhaust. No reducers, or clamps. Carpet was spraypainted black, Sun super tach 1 was scrwed to the dash, car was covered in 1/2" of tree sap. Couldnt tell if it was blue, green, grey. Found a 80 turbo monte buick 3.8 turbo and found it had 2 melted pistons, spun mains, ect. Put it together, has ported irons, 204/214 cam, worked over Q jet, .040 over bottom end, 84/85 GN headers, pypes catback, home built stainless downpipe, alky, ect. Ton of home built stuff. Only thing I didnt do was pull out a dent in the quarter when I got ran into. BTW, its also hit a deer which triggered the repaint.
4 years later its a fun driver and people think its not mine since theres literally less than 5 nice rust free G bodies in town. Its not super fast because it had 2.41's and it blows through the converter but Ive got 3.42's, posi, 200R4 and maybe a PTC 3400 stall converter to throw in if it stays out of my fireturd. It gets a solid 21 MPG, is wierder than hell, but I like it.
Tows stuff too.
Goes camping.
