Hello - This is my first post, I just found this forum. I am the owner of a beautiful 1987 Buick Grand National. I bought the car in 2009, but didn't realize at the time that the cam had a worn lobe on it and eventually the engine seized up due to lack of oil pressure. After much investigation and research, I decided to take out the old, stock block and got a completely rebuilt block with all the updated goodies. The complete list of mods is below:

1987 GN, Rebuilt 109 block .030 over with steel crank & steel rods, forged pistons, 2 steel center mains, 212/212 Comp roller cam, new high rev lifters, pushrods, valve springs, & timing chain, PTC6262BB turbo with .63 exhaust, ported S cover and HD wastegate, Weber race iron ported heads, Precision SLIC intercooler, Extender Extreme Chip, Siemens 80 lbs fuel injectors, Billet adjustable FPR, HRParts motor mounts, Terry Houston 3" downpipe, ATR 3" race pipe, ATR 2.5" exhaust, new body bushings, Bilstein shocks, rear seat brace, TA valve covers, and vacuum brakes. Hot-wired fuel pump. Transmission rebuilt by Jimmy's Transmissions. Alky kit installed.

17" Billet Specialties "Street Lite" Wheels Powdercoated "Wet BlacK"
17x7 Front , 17x8 Rear
BFG KDW G-Force 235-45-17 Front tires
Nitto NT555 Extreme 255-50-17 Rear tires

turbojay,

I love those rims, man. Thanks for posting the info on them. I'll try to keep those in mind if I ever decide to get rims.
 
Thanks all for the compliments. It's a fun car to cruise around in, sadly it started running hot when the weather got really hot recently. About to install a new radiator and dual SPAL fans, that should keep it cooler.
 
Welcome aboard.
That's one badass, sinister looking GN... 8)
 
Welcome, The paint on your GN is Flawless and Wet beautiful car though.
 
Welcome here to GBF!!! That's one sweet looking G.N.!!! Ever had it down the 1320? If so, what times are you running??
