Re: Buick Grand National
Axles on the GN don't break very often. I have made 10 sec passes on stock axles, stock rear end for that matter. One of the best cars I have ever owned.

On my first buick, I had the whole motor redone. It was a factory short block degreased with stock internals, roller cam, stock heads ported, exhaust, fuel pump, intercooler, all little supporting items, and I think a Garrett 62 turbo. This car ran 10.69 @124 driving to and from the track. My second with a Stage 2 272" ran 9.83 @ 137, didn't drive this one to the track but it was perfectly streetable except for the slicks. Both cars used the stock computer, no DFI.

Re: Buick Grand National
I have been to Bowling Green about 3 times, thinking between the years of 98-2001. Haven't been there as of late. It is a great show, have you been there? When I am there, I usually was around Red Armstrong, the guru from Ohio. Been out of the seen for a while, thinking about getting back in. Went to Englishtown too, Buick Mustang shootout. Do you venture out to any events?

Check the new issue of GMHTP (GM High Tech Performance) Cal Hartline runs 8.50, yes 8's, in his street driven GN with the STOCK rear end! These cars kick a$$! I feel very lucky to own mine.

Anyone know where I can get a Grand National engine (pref 1984-87) these days? Anywhere near San Antonio?
Thanks! -KuzmaEagle@aol.com |

Re: Buick Grand National
I have just discovered the Grand National, and I must say that it has turned into my dream car! I have been looking into them, and was wondering about their reliability. I'm certainly not affraid to put some work into a car, but I don't want to get in over my head with problems (i.e. transmission, drivetrain etc...). Any information would be great.
