Looking at an 82 GP

[corvetteronw]

Looks like it has a 327 in it.
Any drawbacks to this year?
I am thinking that it would be relatively easy to plunk a crate 350 in there. Am I right?
Thanks in advance.

Don't know the GP's well so I can't answer the first one, but yes it will be easy to swap out the 327, you can keep everything that's in there now if you want except for the block (and heads, wouldn't do 327 heads on a 350)

Thank you!
They want $4,250 for this 82

And $6,150 for this 81

the 82 is really nice... quite pricey though, but it is a pontiac, so It may be worth it!

82 ftw!! It's way more attractive than the 81, besides the extra 2000 you save by buying the 82 you could spend on go fast goodies!

I'd go for the '82 if I were you... They just look more sporty to me. Your decision though.

The '81 isn't really an '81, as the '81 & '82 have pretty much the same body style, with only minor trim differences. The car that you're showing as an '81 is really a '78-'80 body style. I'd pick the silver '82 car, as I think it is a more attractive body style. The other plus is that its cheaper than the "'81" car. I'd lose the Chevrolet rims, and put some Pontiac style rims back on it.

I'd have to go with the 82...looks sharp!

That 82 Looks Mean as Hell, I'd go with that one

The gold 80? is $4,000 too high imo :shock: !

Be sure to look at the rear frame rails on either one of those 2 cars.

Are they both bench seat, low option cars?
