im just going by my experience that with my lower profile eldebrach performer intake and low profile intake filter, a 1 inch spacer would not fit under the carb, and a stock quadrajet would not fit either. your intake looks at least an inch taller than mine, but let me know lol

I think it'll look sweet, and turn out an awesome car.

People wanted me to keep my Cutlass original, heh, that didn't last long .

These are G bodies, not sacred relics of a great bygone era. Build it as you wish. Now if you were making a real fake and representing it as something it was not, I would have an issue with it as that is fraud. Seeing as you are not, I have no problem with it. These are not good cars unless you make them into what you want them to be. G bodies are a perfect canvas to express your automotive self because almost anything you do to one is an improvement. So, I wish you good luck and godspeed.

Dude,

Have fun with your build! I think that it's going to be really cool to see the transformation.

I'm also really interested to see how you're going to intergrate the "yard-man" into your design. 😀

wow wow wow, i'm sorry i was not referring to your car directly, now that i read it over it seems like a *ss hole comment. hahaha im actually glad to see a nice chevy with a single plane intake under the hood. as far as hoods, glass tech makes the best ones hands down, and at a decent price. i am running a performer rpm air gap and am keeping my fingers crossed that the hood clears. keep us updated.

just one thing: if you're going to put in a v8 in a GNX body, it better be able to eat a turbo 3.8's lunch!!! otherwise gnx purists will just look at you and laugh!

are you planning on doing the GNX rear suspension as well, or just badging and louvers?

Yeah for real. I hope you're ready to step to the plate for HP, otherwise those other GN/GNX guys are gonna fan-boi brand you! :lol:

I like the look that you are trying too achieve with your car. Did you consider puttin a buick 455 in it that woulda had some eye opening torque, but for the cost and weight issue tha SBC is a great replacment
