Ok, so the Gn is in bad shape, motor wise. I'm about to pull it and do a rebuild. I have been going over and over whether or not to convert it over to the 86/87 setup. It's and 84 Gn with t-tops, so I know it's rare. I don't plan on selling it now and hopefully will never have to sell it.
So that's it: I have to pull the motor for a rebuild. I need more speed and I just don't have the kind of money it takes to get a hot air into the 10's or probably even 11's. I also don't have the money to up and buy a new Gn. I love driving a rare car, and I must admit I am afraid of ruining any legacy by changing the basic original design.
If I do the conversion, am I going to regret it? I would just like to hear your take on the situation. I know there are a few die hard hot air guys that hate when these get converted over, and I'm sure there are some who have done the conversion and are wondering what’s taking everyone else so long.
If you have done the conversion, I would like to hear how it's going for you. What kind of results did you expect, and did you reach your goals?
As for the die hard hot air guys, what advice can you give me on beating the conversion bug. Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for those of you who took the time to read and respond to this, without you guys this whole thing would fall apart. I'm grateful for the turbo Buick community out there, keep on spreading the knowledge.
