  • 03 GAGT LX9 and Getrag F-23 swap!

    well i got rid of my old GA last aug or so and have been on the hunt for a solid shell ever since and after looking at multiple rust buckets i found me a 30th!



    136km(86 miles) if anyone is interested in this motor/trans


    some plans are

    -LX9 engine swap
    -F23 Getrag swap
    -6 puck clutch
    -S&S Headers
    -2.5" full exhaust
    -65mm TB
    -Corvette front brake swap
    -Canuck springs for now, gonna try and mess around with a custom coilover setup
    -28# Injectors
    -HP Tuners

    i forgot to start this thread here so heres a bunch of updates

    some of the parts waiting to go in


    SC/T hood #2 and you can see my 5spd/4cyl N-body subframe that ill be using in the reflection

    to replace this clearcoat peeling POS lol

    well finally managed to get some time with the car
    this was on the front

    half way through

    dropped!



    just about tucking

    picked up some Eagle Alloy 077s in 18x8, the guy sandblasted the polished finish so gotta figure out a color scheme for them

    well sold my hood and had to test fit those rims to get a visual of everything, still cant decide on a color though



    much better with no clear coat peeling



    and up to date now!

        Neat! Did not know the cradle was different from auto to manual trans. What muffler is that?

          Ya there slightly different for the trans mount, running the 4cyl/5spd subframe saves me from making a rear mount for the F23! Just need to tap 3 holes on the trans then stock N-body mount bolts up. Muffler is stock for the 30th, it's Borla tips from factory

                I debagded and blacked out a few things the other day, also painted the red on the front pontiac logo black


                and also picked up some Speedbuilt swaybars!

                This is what im doing with those rims, still have to finish the rest of them but they are getting there!

                  went with a rather crazy color




                  haven't had time to work on the car yet as my jimmy needed a lot more work then i first expected and now have a blazer in the garage that I need to finish up but did go grab some parts for the build another F23, custom front trans mount, HP tuned PCM with LX9/5spd file on it.... if your wondering why another F23 it's cause this one has a LSD and already drilled/tapped for the N-body rear mount!

                  Hoping to get the car under the knife soon and completed for May of this year

                            Hopefully! Other vehicles have been putting my projects on hold

                            finally got some time to work on my own stuff so started prepping my LX9

                            quick test fit of the J-body F23 and N-body 5spd frame


                            bought wire wheels for grinder and POR15 for rusty ass frame

                            found decent size hole in frame

                            poked around more and bigger hole

                            Did a search in local junkyards and could only find 2 5spd subframes at a price of $200, searched for another 5spd parts car and no luck so.....
                            template

                            cut and coat the inside

                            new metal! will finish it off tomorrow then coat in POR15 and then some good updates should be coming soon I hope
