    You’ll have to keep eyes peeled they are very rare. I have quite a few rare or odd Buick items from where I’ve collected over the years

    No I wouldn’t use the Chevy 229, I have two Buick 3.8s sitting in my basement right now but doubt they’ll be used for this car

    Correct, I bought a early 3.4 I believe from a 95 firebird for a Fiero project one time. I think I will either be using the original 3.8 block or a 4.1 block as the later buicks from the research I’ve done would needs custom mounts and all of that. I think Im just going to keep it simple for now

    I thought about possibly doing that or maybe taking a 3800 from a Camaro/firebird. But I think I’m going to be going with a LC2 1986-1987 GN engine swap.

    GM in my opinion when they get something right it gets killed off, and then they open up a new mistake.

    I don’t want to put a v8 in it. I think a v8 in a Grand National just takes away from what it is. I’d rather find a 4.1 and put that back in instead of doing a v8 just because the v8 swap to me is just beating the horse over and over it’s been done so many times

    Remaining floor pan spot welds are all drilled out. Firewall is just about stripped part wise. Next will be getting it down to bare metal and get it ready for install on the 82 here in the next couple months hopefully

    The original is stored safely in a box. My garage is a little tight, I plan on building a 40x40 behind my house so i can have more space plus a lift

    My 1982 Buick Grand National Project basket case

    Making progress, this evening I got the donor firewall separated from its original door posts. It is now ready for cleaning and repair so it can be ready for the GN when I marry these two together hopefully this winter. I would love to have most of the metal work done this winter but we shall see

    The good thing this parts car has helped a couple people out so it’s helped not just mine but others as well. I’m hoping to get a lot of the body work done on the 82 this winter but well see

    The parts car unfortunately was kinda crummy. Mostly solid body and frame but made more sense to part it as it would take quite a bit of funding to bring it back too. Hated to cut it up but that’s life. Fortunately it’s the only one that will be cut up for my project body wise anyway.

    Well I don’t have much invested in the 82 and don’t plan on selling it as I’ve always wanted another GN

    Is that good or bad lol
  25. NCTyphoonKid

    My 1982 Buick Grand National Project basket case

    Yeah it’s definitely rougher than what I thought. Good news is I don’t think replacing the firewall will be to horrible I hope. I definitely think it’s going to be easier to do that instead of patching it like I originally thought I could do
