I have read some of the posts and would like to know if anyone makes motor mounts and headers to put a Buick 455 in a G body 86/87 year:confused: .I am looking at doing something different to bracket race.I already own a Grand National and think it would be cool to buy another roller to build a GN look alike with a 455:rolleyes: .The GN is not a good bracket car as consistancy is terrible.:af: Thanks in advance.

My GN was pretty consistent as long as I kept the boost to around 15 lbs. I could run all night in a 5 hundredths window. Of course my bracket car would run in a 2 to 3 hundredths window if the wind and temperature was stable.

ta performance makes both. thats what most of us use i believe. all though as stated by many the headers can be fun at times. good luck with your swap.

Welcome Kevin, as stated, TA Performance is your hook up. Theres plenty of GN rollers out there to pick from. Look up Don Palumbo on the board here, he has a beutiful GN converted over to BBB power.... Keep us posted on your progress.:beer
