Just recently purchased a 85 grand national in California. Currently still in Afghanistan so I haven't even seen it yet, wife actually went and picked it up for me. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions for all you guys and please bare with me if some sound stupid. I'm a big chevy guy and have been into small blocks and g bodies all my life so I'm not new around these bodies just new to the v6 turbo scene.
As far as I know the car has been messed with some. I know the guy has done a electric fan upgrade and threw in a 87 ECM with the sale. Not sure what else has been done. I know it doesn't pass smog but was said because of the lack of cat. Also know that the digital speedo is non op. Lights up but doesn't show speed or any other signs of life.
I will first be trying to get the front end back to stock appearance and have already ordered a few things from nos4gn. Will also be trying to get the interior back to stock form. Have a little leak in the tranny so will soon be taking care of that.
my goal here is to have a good daily driver that will be dependable. I'm not trying to make 450hp (have a c10 with a 383 for the fun times and a bmw 750 for outright comfort) just looking to make some upgrades like a alky kit and maybe install that 87 ECM. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the book guys. Just excited.
