In all my years in restoring and working on Buicks from the V-8 days, I never thought I would be excited to do a project of installing a Chevy engine in a GN?
I was not intimately familiar with the LS-A engine which is a supercharged/intercooled 600+ HP engine used in the Corvette and CTSV until one was dropped at my door today!
Actually, this is a complete kit from GM Performance, plus a few other items from various vendors to make the install in a G-Body car rather simple.
This owner is not familiar with "simple", as this project will include a turbo to supplement the factory supercharger.
The object is to have a Street Rod that is unique, and with the 900 HP is he will easily play with the "super cars" on the street as the chassis will be set up to handle this power rather well.
As a street car, it MUST have AC in Arizona so our Vintage Air kit will provide "cool" year-around cruising!
We start this week when the GN arrives, and will post as we progress.
