Always loved that body style, had a bunch of G bodies, just never one of those. Is it mini tubbed? Looks like some tire under it.

yes it has a frame notch so it will hold about an inch wider tire. im going to put billet specialties on it 10" with a 275 pro. so i should have no rubbing issues.

Very good looking GN. I always love the grand national and wanted one but have never found one to play with.

Very cool. Love those cars.
Be curious what it weighs? Could be lighter than the Nova’s.

That Weldon pump looks decent. Certainly high quality. A good place to start at the least.

So, we calling you GN Mike now?

Haha. Not sure but I think it is pretty light has fiberglass bumpers and brackets . I think I’m going to run the Weldon pump as a second pump and turn it on at low boost. Not sure yet . Weldon says run it if I’m only running an hour or so at a time

One of my dream builds . I ended up with a clean cutlass after looking for a gn roller . Street lites will look good.

Almost my exact combo. Converters gonna be close. I went from a 15-0 to a 17-0 and it was WAY better. Shift recovery at about 5500 on 20psi with a 3.31 gear
