Very Nice Looking Car....
 
What was the original motor? The only reason I ask is because up here LeMans of this vintage had optional SBC either 267 or 305, Grand Ams were sold here with Poncho power...301's.

This car came with the V-6,231 i think.

Nice upgrade...3 times the power....
 
......does it burn any rubber?

It does good,i had it at the car craft summer nationals all weekend and it represented itself well at the night time cruise.

pity, the buick v6 had grand national capabilities.

But thoseTurbo Buicks sound so, so......
 
...wheezy. Eight cylinders of good old American cast iron play a tune more to my liking!

No replacement for displacement.
 
My brother in law has an 1985 T-Type,I know not the best year,with some mods and really not much of a challenge at BIR show n go last month,nice car though.
