I posted in the new members section about by 87 GN “New Member WNC”. All the parts that were mentioned is now irrelevant since finding out the the car is needing to be completely rebuilt. The transmission is trashed as is the motor. So here we go, down the rabbit hole of turbo Buick builds.

The block is currently at a machine shop getting bored .020 over.
I’ve purchased a GN1 long rod stroker kit
ARP fasteners
Calico bearings
Revolution X 212/218 112*roller cam
Holley HP EFI
Hydroboost conversion

I figure if I’m this far in, the old pt70 should probably be replaced too. I’m looking at the HPT 6466. Let me know if you have any other suggestions. This will mostly be a street car. I live in the mountains so suspension and brakes are in the near future and I like the “pro-touring” look.

New parts.
The transmission is also being rebuilt. It was originally built by PMAC so I’m hoping that most of the good parts in there will be reusable.

Wow! I’m sorry to hear the news, but am glad you’re committed to making it right.

Thanks. I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end.
