Honestly Corey, if you can find an 88-93 Grand Prix with a 5 speed for cheap, buy it.

The swap is definitely cheaper than a rebuilt and from what I have seen you don't mind the work. It can be done in 3 days of hard work by yourself I would say.

Leave atleast a day for interior work because looking at what needs to be done I would say that is the time consuming part.

i think thats pretty cool. make it rwd too and it'll be sick

thats awesome man good luck! make sure you do a write up!

Good luck. I always have wished that grand prix had a manual trans as an option, so it will be cool to see how it works for you. Thats gonna be sweet when you are done.

RS I can't wait to see how it turns out. I do like the fact that even though it will be slower you will be Unique and it will def be a lot more fun to drive:D

be slower, he will have enough psi behind that to still blow the doors of of some whips lol, well you wanted to be the first 5 spd on here, well im gonna keep your parts, and hopefuly someone else beats ya 2 it lol just messen lol

Haha, thanks Andrew. OK, the parts are all yours! Now you just gotta find a turbo to put them on

Making it RWD is A LOT of work. Not anything I will be doing any time soon. 99.9% sure I never will. The reason i'm doing this swap is because it's relatively easy for something as complex as changing an auto to a manual. If I used the F40 I would have better results but it is much more work and more custom parts are needed.

Yes, the car would be a bit faster with an automatic but not anything that drastic.

I hope to run about 18 psi as a DD so this will be no slouch by any means.

i could use all but the blanket, i thought about using your header wrap but im not that kinda guy so i will wait and just buy some of my own

Yep RWD is major fabrication and requires a great understanding of suspension geometry etc. Personally I think it would be easier to just use a tube chassis with GP body panels if you want a RWD GP.

Good luck man! 5 speed would be awesome. Maybe you could make paddle shifters.

agreed, then you might as well drop a sbc in while your at it

Why stop at an SBC? If it's gonna be tubed go big or go home

ahh you can make just as much power with a sbc as you can with some bigblocks, so yeah might as well do a full tub as well

I honestly don't think it will be too much slower. Once you get the feel for it, you can be just as good/better than the automatic.

I don't care about ET, traps are what I am going for. I could run 15 seconds all night if i trap at 110+ and still be happy.

Well, drove about 4 hours to go get this car and bring it home. $80 later in gas in my uncles Hemi Ram pulling a fullsize float. It sucks back the fuel like it's going out of style!

OHH what a GEM this 89 Prix is lol. Digital dash, power windows, sunroof, everything. Almost feel bad parting it out when it runs so great and I got it for so cheap...I kind of want to keep it for a winter beater.

BUT

I'll be making money off it and get all the parts that would have cost me $600+ anywhere else. Pretty much brand new Blizzak tires on the rear. Perfectly running engine but it has a short in the battery so has to be boosted to start. Brand new alternator, it's in great shape. Interior is mint for now...

It's late so i'll get some pictures tomorrow.
