Blown Smoke

[1bd87]

I just lost the head gasket on my motor awhile back and am starting to wonder why stay with a six. For a few more thusand I can get a World crate motor that puts out 600 hp on 93 gas and do it all day long. I wouldn’t have to mess with turbos alcohol injection race gas back fires spitting and sputtering. Anybody out there got a real good reason. The car looks great rides great but really a 6. I know why they did it in the 80’s but most of the GN today ? Wacked out trannys motors are trial and error.

Because thats what a Grand National/T-type is man. They are about the turbo six spanking eight cylinders when a competant person is behind the wheel ( not saying you are dumb) . If you want to jump on the eight cylinder band wagon sell the car and buy a regal and go from there.

Just blown off steam I'm having Cotton build a motor for me. I hear these motors have special needs and I've heard good things about him so rather than getting in over my head I'll have him build it. Oh buy the way drive I can do keep head gaskets in place I have trouble with.

Yeah no doubt have someone who knows these engines build it. You just came off as if you were bashing these cars and it seemed like you just wanted to start trouble. The six cylinders are fun though especially smoking someone then saying its just a six, the look on there face is priceless :biggrin:

Sure

There's a guy on LS1Tech.com that has an LS7 running in his g-body Monte Carlo...That would be ok in a GN I guess, if the LS7 was turbo charged of course...

Gotta love the fact that you can smoke a big block with a baby 6 (with turbo but who's telling?). :biggrin:

I've had my car 7 years and it had 48k this year when she broke. And yes it's priceless when a guy on a ricerocket lights his bike up and goes to look behind him to see where you are and your next to him.
