And a lot of us have 78-80 Grand Prix, which probably have some of the simplest possible panel lines of all of the G's, which would make them super easy to reproduce. Just sayin'. :wink: 1/4 patch panels would be great.

I've run both. This is the better choice.

Keep in mind that there is a big difference in the onset of torque between a 3.8 turbo and a 455. One produces a gradual buildup, the other a sudden shockwave. Personally I think the 4L80E (with an adapter plate) with its higher torque rating is a much better choice for a Pontiac engine.

I suspect that they are stock with the inner fenders removed. Cool video though. I'd be very happy to come across something like that in a yard.

It occurred to me that a late 70's Caddy might have some parts that I could use.

Re: Grand Prix headlight modification - opions wanted I have a few extras I can experiment with if I decided to do this. I wouldn't cut up my original set. I might also look around to see if anything like this was ever offered on another car.

I've been a Grand Prix owner for a long time, and something about the headlight configuration has never looked quite right to me. I had some fun with photoshop today and this is what I came up with. The modified lights look a bit cleaner to me but I'm not 100% sure. Which do you guys like...

I have that pump on my 400. Works great, no issues.

I saw some 4 door Malibus in there. This one sold for $700. https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=1530&aid=68561&lid=17400616&title=1978-Chevrolet-Malibu-4dr-Sedan But yeah, for the most part people were going nuts with their bids.

My clock turned into a tach a long time ago. 8)

I have American Collectors. They insure modified cars and they have different tiers, including one that allows normal use.

Re: whom wants an inner patch panel 4 their monte, cutlass d Interesting... :)

There are quite a few sets of the rear exit manifolds on ebay.

This thread really delivers! :D Thank you Ramey and Ryan for sharing. This is definitely an area I hope to improve on my car at some point in the future.
