Chevymd350 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Folks- Just wanted to let you know that I am planning an LSX/T56 swap into something next winter. I still miss my 70 monte, and am considering tracking it down or buying another one. That being said, I am also considering doing another grand national, so that might have to be it! My goal is to have something that is quick, reliable, safe, and, most importantly, fun to drive! Current plans / parts list is as follows: LQ4 H/C, magnacharger T56 BRP swap kit Moroso oil pan wait4meperformance standalone harness BRP headers SC&C AFX front suspension kit KORE3 C6 discs on all fours CCW classic 18's HRpartsnStuff rear suspension package I wish I hadn't sold that LS2/T56 I had a few summers ago, that'd have made my parts cobbling a lot easier! I have some time (planning build next winter) to figure out which platform I'd like to do. With the state of the economy, I should have a pretty good selection by then. BTW, if I do a g-body, it will be a GN, and no, I'm not worried about "ruining a GN!" I hope everyone is doing ok! MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspdfreek Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Either combo sounds like a blast! I'd like to see a magnacharged LS motor in a FGMC. Probably wouldn't get bad gas mileage either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevymd350 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yep the mileage would be a good perk cruising down to OC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You're not ruining a Grand National, my opinion you would be making it 10x better. V8 with the supercharger! sweet! or maybe even a Turbo? V6s just don't do it for me. Do the First Gen Monte if you could, of course we'd all like to see that!

kc8oye Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 you aren't likely to see much in the mileage dept. with a super charger.. turbos sure.. but that super is gonna suck your gas mileage down even while cruizing. the supercharged 3800 v6 for example, gets about 3 mpg LESS then the N/A version does in the same car..

Jared, I am guessing you have never owned or driven a boosted car. My 86 T Type makes 397 RWHP on low boost(20 pounds) with a turbo/methanal/injector/chip upgrade. You aint lived until you take a ZO7 circa 2006 out the hole and up to some wicked top end speed But an LSX swap in a first gen. HMMM.
