another damn grand prix LOL (97 Frankenstien GT sedan)

[Mater]

the car is a 1997 Grand Prix GT sedan southern car lived in gorgia untill 2007 it's seen one and only one winter body has 240,000 miles


now why is it called Frankenstien? well it has parts from every year of the 97-03 grand prixs or close too it. in 97 the GTs and SEs had the 4t60 vacuum assited trans and a diffrent ABS unit and traction and the only year to have a tire pressure monitor

here is the thread the previous owner made about the trans swap on the other board i am on http://www.gpona.com/forums/transmis...gt-t24345.html

the engine is from a 98 or 99 GTP it came our of a 97 GTP but is missing a vacuum tee that the 97 GTPs had so it was not the original engine from that car. the car it came out of was in a horrible crash from street racing the car did a barrel roll after the passenger wheel caght the ditch then after it hit the ground 100 yards later it when end over end four 400 yeards untillt he roof hit a tree and the car landed ont he wheels facing the way it was orginaly going. shockingly no one died

here is the engine doaner





the 4t60 was sppoed for a 4t65 out of a 2001 SE. the 4t60 died 3 times and is not strong enough to handle boost

to get the tran to work we swapped the engine bay harness for one form a another 97 GTP as the oen that was in the wrek was un-usable

the interior in the car is from a 1998 GT sedan. car originaly had tan cloth now it has charcoal

the radio, struts, brakes, rims, tires, and the exhuast is from my old 2001 GT coupe lol


besides just the randome pats swapping it has a reflashed PCM with a dyno tune file, 3" exhuast down pipe, cat delete, the cat back is larger diameter with a glasspack resinator, open filter intake


here is the pics of the car before the 300 mile journey




and after 300 miles on a traler in a michigan winter





the two GPs







going to steal the good parts off the the silver one and it will be demoted to winter sacrafice. it's clear turn siganals, beefy front sway bar, and strut braces

just what you needed a pontiac

I swear your parts need loaner stickers (like the library uses) so you can track what car they came from, and keep track of the ones you've swapped

[Mater]

only original part on the 97 is the body and paint lol


the PO gave me a note book of the parts and what year to help with parts store requests lol i fear for the poor guy who is working the counter whent he car needs something lol

Who drove the parts donor off a cliff?? You're like those creepizoid harvester surgeons.

Mark all the donor parts from all the cars with yellow paint like the junkyards.

17 year old girl racing her brother in a 78? trans am. the trans am did a PIT on the GTP by accident both cars where going way above 100MPH

the trans am just hit the ditch then ran into the GTP after it hit the tree







i do not think the doaner engine is 100% stock as the green car moves i need to take off the vlave covers and take a peak

Gotta love that sibling rivalry. Did their parents bury them in the forest behind the cars?

yes, because your cars are mostly air (where there used to be metal)
