New guy 78 Grand Prix

[78GP400]

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

Welcome aboard from KY. Super clean GP man, glad to see it getting some TLC. That thing should haul tail with the new motor.

Welcome to the site from Houston. Awesome project. That thing will be a beast with that Poncho 400.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm definitely going to start this in the "build" part of this forum. So many cool builds on here, going to give me some great ideas.
