FS: Buick GN complete conversion kit for FC

I totalled my stock FC recently that I was intending to convert to a GN driveline like the previous FC's I had done. I no longer need the kit that I have made so I'm posting it here for sale. Putting it on eBay next week.

This is the only kit I know of that is complete and not just the Kmember. It is for an FC hardtop as the vert Kmember is different. The only thing you need to make is the transmission mount and weld the lower intercooler mounts into place.

Kit includes:
modified '87-91 style Kmember (uses stock style motor mounts)
Spearco 1080cfm intercooler w/ 2 1/2" intercooler piping using mandrel bent piping and welded beads on the ends (stops hoses from blowing off) 650hp+ rated intercooler
intercooler hoses and T bolt clamps
mounts for front mount intercooler
ATR s/s headers (needed for 3" downpipe clearance)
3" custom mild steel driveshaft with HD Spicer 1350 ujoints
3" mandrel bent downpipe (TTA stock WG style)
3.5" single mandrel bent exhaust with Dynomax Ultraflo muffler (good for 700hp+)
These parts are used but in excellent condition and you know they fit and work the first time. I have a ton more than this invested into the kit.

$2400 obo

Engine fits under stock hood but it does require some trimming of the underhood bracing to clear the alternator, TB, and Turbo. The steering rack stays in the stock location which is key.

I also have a complete built GN engine with a shortblock containing JE pistons, billet main caps, Total Seal rings (.020" overbore) with zero miles. Machined and assembled by S&S Automotive in San Leandro, CA (NHRA guys). This is a 700hp+/700ft/lbs tq+ engine..... by bolting on a big shaft turbo and supporting intercooler/injectors/chip. Ready to go if you don't have one already.

A stock Buick GN engine/turbo will put any FC into the low/mid 11's with this kit. Upgraded turbo/injectors will put you in the low low 10's.

any ?'s: gnx7@hotmail.com

Even though I hate conversions...

But for what its worth....I was at Marks place a few weeks ago and saw the engine he is talking about. It looked very clean. He has bought and sold things with me and is a stand up guy.
