My son has an '87 GN with some mods - at track once last year, turned mid 13's, with MPH of 106.8.
We're told it needs a looser convertor for the big turbo thats on it (currently has a 2,500 stall speed). Unfortunately a couple of weeks after the E-Town outing, trans started slipping on 1-2 shift,
and eventually 2nd went away. Car went away for Winter and we did not have time or money to replace trans (we opened a new store last May, all $'s and time going into that...).
We were thinking of picking up a used trans to put in so he can at least get to cruise around a bit with nice weather coming.
Will a Olds 442 trans work - if he doesn't drive it too hard too often ? Unless we can locate an original GN trans, reasonably priced, in good working order, within driving distance of Dutchess County NY (Poughkeepsie area).
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks - Rich
