Re: Pro mod / pro stock buick

Hey,

I am trying to find more pics. This is what I was thinking of. It is a twin turbo gn. I think they used a v8 though. There is this video. http://www.fasttrackperformance.com...s/ChrisTTGN.wmv
And found these pics so far.

Re: Pro mod / pro stock buick

Hey,

Dave, I was just giving a suggestion to make it a turbocharged monster motor. But, if you want to build a motor to sell, that would be cool, but I wasn't really asking. But thanks, I think. lol

Mike, the pic is a v8. I know. The gn in the video, I'm not sure about. It was discussed on another forum if it was a v8 or v6. And that picture was thrown around saying it was a v8. I know the gn's are v6's. So, I'm not really sure what swap they used for the gn.

Sorry if I confused everyone

Frank X.

Looking good so far. I would recommend taking an ex-acto knife and grooving out the rotors, will looks much more realistic.

Example:
