Well I wasn't going to say anything...but....

You're my History Channel pal...don't forget.

History, Discovery and NG suck lately. Dont know what happened to them

...if all you care about is accelleration. It handles like a pig.

But even then, the GN had a supercharged V6 3.8 liter engine, so you don't have the same options for cheap power that you would with the usual GM 350 V8. And if you swap engines, it's not really a GN anymore.

yep - straight line is where its at

I had an 87 GN but it was the GNX model that I switched the boost on to give it 15 pounds.

0-60 was sick for a car that heavy and running a v-6....sub 5 seconds

You and I both know that even getting in the 10's with a big old muscle car is a big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ proposition. . .still take a late 60's or 70/71 muscle car with a big block over just about anything else, though.

I got on the track 3 times with the nova, that was whew.... back in 94-95 I believe.

Now that was a rush, but my reaction time sucked ass big time. LOL... but I didn't red light.

yes sir it is. I agree. I'd much rather take an older car with some balls. Like they say "there is no replacement for displacement".

Swapping a 350 into a Grand National would be heresy. GN's run 14's in stock trim and with very little modification into the low 13's. There is no way to get that kind of performance with a 350 w/o serious mods. When the turbo spools in second gear at 25mph, and blows away the tires... yee haa...

There's nothing quite like the feeling in the seat of your pants when your sitting behind the wheel of a car with a big block and a lumpy-ass cam. . .even at idle it makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
