Maine guy with a 4 speed Grand Prix

[DIYShifter]

Hey everyone, thought I'd stop in and say hi. My name is Drew, I'm from Southwestern Maine. I currently drive a 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix that I've converted to a 4 speed. It has 355 SBC with Vortec heads, Comp xe268 cam, Speed Pro forged pistons, Edelbrock 750 carb, and the associated motor stuff. Trans is a 1965 M20 Muncie (it replaced an M21 because I liked the wide ratio and deeper first gear. I also grenaded a Saginaw. Heh.), Hurst Comp Plus shifter, Hays flywheel, 8.5" rearend from an 84 H/O with 3.73s, Hotchkis lowering springs, sway bars, and braced rear control arms. I built the car to be a well balanced, fun to drive sleeper, and I feel I've accomplished that nicely! Its not the fastest car around, but it beats up on local Mustangs handily while looking like I borrowed it from my grandmother!

I'll post pics shortly!

Haha yeah, love the NEMS guys, but the drama is just too much. Plus my internet access is limited to my Blackberry, so I'd just rather go on sites that interest me more and are actually relevant.

And as for the lurking, I really haven't "lurked" per se, just joined up a while ago when I had my 85 Cutlass and never really came back much.

Thanks for the kind words! Looking forward to contributing to the site!
