Find out how this traditional and affordable front engine/rear-wheel-drive design lends itself to common upgrades and modifications for a wide range of high-performance applications, from drag racing to road racing. Many of the vehicles GM produced using this chassis were powered by V-8 engines, and others had popular turbocharged V-6 configurations. Some of the special-edition vehicles were outfitted with exclusive performance upgrades, which you can easily adapt to other G-Body vehicles.

This book explains which vehicles were equipped with which options, and how to best incorporate all the best-possible equipment. A solid collection of upgrades, including brakes, suspension, and the installation of GMs most popular modern engine-the LS Series V-8, are all covered in great detail. The aftermarket support for this chassis is huge, and the interchangeability and affordability are a big reason for its popularity. It’s the last mass-produced V-8/rear-drive chassis that enthusiasts can afford and readily modify.

You'll also see G-Body buying tips, including what areas to be aware of or check for possible corrosion, what options to look for and what should be avoided. Buy now to own the first book ever dedicated to the performance of GM G-body cars.

• A well-rounded look at the best aftermarket high performance handling and braking components currently offered for the GM G-body. • Includes a full chapter on how to install a modern GM LS-series engine and matching transmission into a vintage G-body chassis.
