bone yards, auto trader papers, car shows and swap meets. the big car shows like carlisle and hershey have everything. might be worth your while going. find a GN site and post on the parts wanted section, same with thirdgen sites.

Don't forget the Buick Regal T-Types from 84-87. They were basically a GN but in other colors. Very often overlooked.

Cars to get the motor from:
  • 1989 Turbo Trans Am(good luck)
  • 1986 Buick Turbo Regal
  • 1987 Buick Turbo Regal

Places to look for motor:
NOTE: The 84-85 TR's were Hot Air cars,as in they were not intercooled and are different from the 86-87.
