Thanks for the offer but I'm not ready to let it go for that much just yet. Christopher

Additional pics and info I finally managed to get some pictures of the interior and was mistaken about the mileage as it actually has 136K miles on it. I also confirmed that it does in fact have a posi differential based on the G80 code I found on the build sticker. Let me know if you have...

1986 GN with salvage title (due to theft, I believe) Hard top Pretty clean interior except for the lower part of the driver's seat which is torn (even the headliner is still intact) Approx 120K on the chassis Only has moderate body damage where the front of the driver's door meets...

I'm about to install a camshaft in a motor I'm rebuilding and although this might be a stupid question, I'd like to know if degreeing it is really necessary. I've replaced camshafts in several different motors over the years and have always just lined up the dots on the timing gears and have...

Does anybody happen to know that dimensions of the bolts? Napa Auto has several different sizes of Grade 8 bolts so if I could find out the size I'd need I might be able to go that route instead.

Probably a dumb question but does anybody know where I can buy a new one? I'm in the process of putting my motor back together and as I install each additional piston it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep turning it over to make sure the pistons aren't binding up. Thanks in...

I'm interested in the pistons if they're still available.

They were on my 2007 Corvette.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I had them mounted on a 9-1/2" rim and it ended up being a little wider than the tire. My guess is that with an 8" rim they'll be wider than the rim but probably not by much.

Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that the backspacing is more an issue of whether the rim will fit on the car properly and not whether the tire will fit on the rim. As for the width of the rim, MT’s website suggests a minimum width of 8.5” (based on the 9.5” tread width of...

I just bought these on March 11th but decided that I want to go with the ET Street Radials instead: Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels They're the 17" size (26X11.50-17LT to be exact) and only have 6 passes on them (all from last week at Infineon Raceway). I paid just under...

I told the guy that I wanted to pull the pan as well as do a compression test but he said that it's currently sitting on a wooden pallet with the transmission still attached. He didn't say that I couldn't do the tests, but didn't seem too interested in trying to facilitate them. I believe in...

A guy here locally is selling a used GN motor for $1500 complete with everything (turbo, brackets, alternator etc.). He said that it only has 50K miles and can prove it, but since it's currently not in the car I'm not sure how he'd be able to do that. Even if he can't though, does this...

The only thing I'd be worried about is buying a used set of heads only to find out that they're no better than the ones I currently have now.

I'm a little confused - what exactly about what the machine shop wants to do to the heads isn't advised? Doesn't that fall into the category of a run-of-the-mill valve job?

Would that be readily available for new or used heads? How important is having it balanced? The car will probably end up being a daily driver for the most part but still see some action at the track. I was also curious as to whether it was safe running a crank that will end up having been...

I've never had a GN motor rebuilt before so I'm not sure if it sounded reasonable or not. Please freel free to chime in with any and all opinions. Thanks, Christopher
