If you don't mind the loss of OD and you never want to crawl under the car to pull the transmission again... I'd say go for it. I did the TH400 swap on two of my three Turbo Buicks. I loved the OD for cruising around, but I hate fixing things more than once. Even some of the best builders have...

I posted a much more in-depth thread here on this site at the time... Here ya go. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/motor-wont-rev-over-5200-5300rpm-wtf.296450/

Damn... can't believe it's been that long. Good to see you are still whoopin on it. lol BTW... it went straight when I had it. :D The "YUL LOSE" tag is now hanging on the back of a Vette. I just cannot believe the power of these LS motors when they are boosted. :D

Just figured I'd pop in and say "hey" to those I haven't talked to in awhile. Haven't logged in to the forum in awhile. Have I missed much ? :D I never managed to buy back my old GN... and wound up with a used Vette instead. So instead of leaving it stock and slow... I added a blower, intake...

LOL... like three times already.

Dan... I think the guys buying the car are not capable of operating all the doodads and gadgets I had on the car. I had the wideband tracking chip, LM1,Powerlogger, etc on the car when I sold it and as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been hooked up since. The car is above the average guys head and I...

Are you kidding ?:rolleyes: It was sold long ago and has already changed hands a few times since then. It went from me to a guy in Oregen... and from there it was sold to a guy in Tennessee. That guy recently sold it also. Last I heard the car was in Ohio with the most recent buyer.

Mark... you should consider dabbling in the Corvette market. Those guys spend stupid amounts of money on flash and dazzle stuff.

That's one of them. lol Sofar I've added these mods: Vararam CAI SLP 160 T-stat Casper's Hi/Low manual fan switch PCV catch can Flowmaster mufflers Lowered on factory bolts / cut rears Z51 Swaybars Pfadt bushings Painted calipers Kenwood DNX5120 Nav unit 20% window tint from "Smokin Moe's" Z06...

Yeah... I expect to get a little flak here about it. :D

They were just stock springs that I cut until I got the stance I wanted. I'd still like to have another GN... but that won't happen for awhile now. I have too many things I'd like to do to the Vette first.

Just to update this old thread... The deal on the GN fell through for a number of reasons. Either way... the GN now belongs to a guy in Ohio, and I decided to buy a 2005 Corvette instead. lol I've already started making changes to it...

Dave... I got your voicemail today. Good to hear from you ! Save yourself a trip to my shop... I closed it down and went back to working a fulltime job again. lol

Then run better fuel. :wink:

Here's a better angle on mine. I think the secret is to keep them centered under the wheelwell. A 15x7 with a 3.5"BS will work as good as a 15x8 with a 4"BS.

I'd definitely be interested in this setup... especially the arrangement with LS2 coils on top of the module and billet mounting brackets. Coils on the valve covers just look so cluttered.

I don't think the head gasket problems are a result of fastener weakness... it's due to a lack of fasteners around the cylinder and blocks with thin decks.

I will go against the grain here and say I never cared for the jacked-up 4x4 look required to clear big wheel/tire combos. In my opinion, the GN's look much better with the rubber tucked up inside the wheel wells. I've always had great luck with 15x7 rims and a 3.5" backspace using a 275/60-15...

Yeah, I really regret not getting a timeslip before selling it. I'm really grateful that the current owner is selling the car back to me. It's not often people get an opportunity like this. My biggest concern is what damage/wear n tear may have occurred while out of my possession. Rest...

This car was my third Turbo Buick, and was by far the best of them all. I regretted selling it from the day it left on the car carrier.
