  • Grand AM show CAar with 300 HP

    I was wondering with all this talk abou tthe 3500 swap.
    Was that car just a 3400 Block with a 3500 Top ENd swap then a bolted on super charger.

    If none knows for sure is there a way to find out.

    I'm just really curious to what GM did

          I seem to recall a 3500 with a small turbocharger.

                this car actually doesnt look very well thought out, but def is customized, the red circled area is diff, GAs dont have the rad will there, and look at the "stainless" hose cover used on the rad fill/overflow tank(circled in white), one is done, one isnt, and all the nasty looking reddish looms, and also the rad hose to t stat is the "stainless" but the rad fill hose and most of the others arent...should have taken more time to make it look better, not just thrown together for the sake of SEMA...

                kinda like starting a presidential campaign in oct 2008...pointless due to not enough prep time

                  prolly a water to air intercooler rad up front and i would guess thats mainly for heat

                    Actually, its not that bad; I don't know who wrote up that description on conceptcarz but they say its a DOHC... that's wrong. But what I can see is a complete 3500 swap, well thought-out turbo, tubular exhaust manifolds, good sized FMI, projector headlights, and a tasteful body kit. If it makes a true dynoed 300 HP then who cares about the red looming and fake stainless hose. If not then... just another show car with no balls
