I found a GN (long)

[scarp]

As an RSA cell site tech I put on alot of miles and go through many small towns.

in my travels I stop at salvage yards sometimes in search of the rare R200/LSD

well I stopped in this little poedunk town trying to find a bite to eat today and thought I would stop by this little yard

I walked in and ask the little old man if he minded if walked around the yard. he said help yourself.

As I was looking for any Z I noticed a black rollover three cars high and I thought hmm that kind of looks like a GN.

as I got closer my pulse started to race.

it is a GN but I bet it was robbed blind as the rearend was gone.

I climbed up on a car and saw an oilpan WOOHOO then looked in the crushed roof to see 31560 on the od.

I went back to the office and told the old guy that I thought I might have found a rebuildable V6 for my wifes little car but it was three high.

He sent another little old man out with a fork lift and he lowered the car down to the ground and went back.

DADGUM it took me about 30 min. to open the crushed hood and then there it was all intact

hoses and all.

then I got the computer right there and then

and went back to the office with my best (I'M tired of working on this crap face) and told the owner that I think I found a rebuildable v6.

and he said if I would pull it then I could have it for get this $100.00

I paid him right there and then

then I came home and loaded up the cherry picker,jacks and tools.

Damn that cell site up there it sure is going to have lots of problems tomarrow (I LOVE MY JOB)

the ?? is what else do I need to pull?

as much of the wireing as possable?

Gezz I dont even know what i am going to do with this. all I know is I want it.

 

HEY scotty HELP I need you to tell me what not to miss...

Scarp,

You lucky blankety blank! Take everything! I'm not a GN expert, but you can go to www.gnttype.org and search for the stage building section (stock thru wild). Man I envy you. Keep us posted! Mark

HOT DAMN. As the song goes, some guys have all the luck. Dont know what your situation is for cash or space, but I would take the whole car, haul it home and take my time stripping it right. You will be able to salvage enough stuff that you wont use that can be resold to cover the cost of the entire car.

 

As said, you want everything! If you plan on doing a GN swap, you want the trans and converter. It will be a pain, given you are trying to do it in a JY, but you also want to get the entire engine harness all the way to and including the ECM. Grab the I/C, if not damaged. Even if you do not use it, you can resell it. Bottom line, get everything attached to the engine and trans.

 

I really encourage you to try and get the entire car. It is very rare to find a virgin GN and you never can tell what mods might have been done to it. Hate to see you leave something on the table unknowingly.

 

BTW, if it has any original wheels, grab them too as they are worth more than you will pay for the engine.

 

HOT DAMN, the Gods are smiling on you.

SCOTTIE IS RIGHT!!!! Grab the whole damned car - neighbors be damned!

 

Seriously, the interior parts alone are worth a mint - nevermind the engine. GNs have all sorts of parts that are getting hard as hell to find. Little trim things - stuff liek that. If you grab that whole car you can strip it correctly for the drivetrain and make more than you bought it for via a GN site of E-Bay. A hassle to do yes but wow, that's a find if they'll let it go cheap. The last thing you want is to forget something or accidently mangle something you'll have to buy from GM to finish.

 

Even if it doesn't wind up in the Z you've got an awesome deal. You could easily make a bunch of cash from the drivetrain alone....

 

Hope this works out for you man - congrats!
