Northstar V-8

[LoneRangers15]

Has anyone on here ever done or seen the famed Northstar V-8 swap? If so, pictures please!

[GhettoSuperStar]

That's a reach.

[LoneRangers15]

Not really, I have seen it in a Fiero.

Isn't the Alero an N-body?

AWESOME!! Can you imagine that in your GA?? WHOA!! :thumbup:

[Artic]

That would be cool as hell :)

[91GrandAmKid]

Wow.... I'm speechless, that is just plain swwweeeeeeeetttttt!!!! I bet that thing str8 FLIES! I would love to see a Northstar in a GA, it'd be sooooo fast!! Find us some more pics of that Alero man.. it's too awesome!

[Alero1]

I'll getcha some more when I get home. Got a few other pics and stats somewhere's there.....

Off the top of my head I think it's pushing close to 500hp, still FWD, man. trans....got a horrible body kit and paint job on it. Well not horrible, just not my taste.

4.6L Northstar; 475-hp; 5-sp manual

well the paint and body is not as bad as I remembered it to be. Not bad.

Probably turns like a brick, with all that engine in there..... :lol:

And what mods were done to get 460bhp out the Northstar? It doesn't look like there's enough room for a Turbo- or supercharger setup......

And what company/brand made the 5 speed manual? They don't come with one from the factory, and that's a lot of power for a FWD stick to handle......

[Alero1]

Don't know. That's all I know about the car, sans a few other pics. I think it was actually a GM car. :???: Hard to tell in the pic above, but the cut-outs on the wheels is the Olds logo. :bigok: The hood is also a dual cowl induction design, non-functional. Here's the ass end:

Nice pipes. :D

[LoneRangers15]

Someone had a big bowl of rice today.

[Nike0302]

probably costs quite a lot of momey to put the engine there let alone removing all the crap thats in there now

[Thin_J]

Nice engine, fugly body kit/spoiler.

What's with the two big squares on the front bumper? Yuck. No thanks.

And the wing? Well.. eeeeeew.

[nkoenig]

Has anyone completed a v8 swap on their GA? If so what engine and transmission did you use?

Any info you have on this would be of interest.

Thanks

[doobiess]

I wanna fit this in my GA ( my dad's engine) blown 350 to 355ci with a B&M supercharger... 620 hp... sure would look funny in a 94 GA

[Xidion]

^ Good luck with that. Half of that would be sticking out of the top of the car unless you got some large cowel induction hood(how ever you spell it).

[azeniskid]
