Hellcat Powered Buick Grand National

We take an inside look at the first ever Hellcat powered Buick Grand National @Project_Hellnational to view more on this beast!

[@kingdevan7199]

I dont think its a grandnational without the 6v turbo. Just a regal

[@impalaon22inchrome]

I agree.....to me a gn is v6 turbo

[@scottsmith6571]

85-6 did have turbos but not intercoed we call them hot air cars

[@scottsmith6571]

Buy a grand national an do a proper build on the engine an car let e know how much lol .. I’ve done it to an 87 got 10.97 stock long block now it’s built an I built a 89 tta

[@kingdevan7199]

It's truly not just trim. GN has alot of parts that go on that v6 turbo an the intercooler v6 turbo 86-87, these are nothing close to a regal specs, it is very pricey dealing with a GN, regals are cheap to deal with. But putting a Ls in a GN is disrespect.

[@coreyfresh6489]

Of course not... It's a hell national

[@scryla2000]

Dude I am sooooooo impressed with just even the idea of the swap. Keep us updated cause this build will put you on the map!!

[@skymiller7035]

Plot twist the turbo 3.8 went in the challenger

[@BigBlockCaprice]

actually would've made a more interesting video in my opinion lol

[@backmonavery]

🤣

[@kingdevan7199]

😂😂😂😂😂I gotta see it

[@trashbandit2449]

Have to make it faster somehow haha

[@FarkJoeB]

That 3.8 was the hellcat of its day

[@I-Teee]

As a diehard traditional GN guy, I wanted to come here and not like this. I do like it. I’d turn the exhaust down behind the tires and keep the stock GN hood on it, maybe with a custom “6.2 DI SUPERCHARGED” logo on the hood bulge. Either way, nice work so far.

[@jeffgrimm]

Hell yeah! Great idea! Live the custom logo on the original hood *.*

[@2muchBoost_]

This is going to be one bad ride...I just wish the exhaust would exit behind the rear tire like the GN....subscribed...I have to follow this build

[@91sol]

I instantly turned into one of those ford guys who gets mad at mustang ls swaps🤣🤣🤣

[@crownless236]

damn but i mean. it sounds good.

Same here. I was like "THAT IS NOT A GN NO MORE! IT'S A GBODY WITH A V8!"

[@Dauntless.steadfast.fortitude]

Great build, vision & owner. F ! The nay sayers & haters. 1. Bought a rusty basket case. 2. Went for stock rebuild. Canceled 3. Modern day Hellcat drive train gotta love it ( no copy cat ) totally original ideas 4. Not no riced out P.O.S. 5. Finished product PRICELESS

I have an 87 GN with 52k original miles on it, once you remove the Turbo 6, its no longer a Grand National. But a person can do what they want to they're car, it's they're car ya know. I believe in keeping it True to its unique platform, it keeps more value that way also. To each his own tho.

Bad ass. Love the way it sounds. Nothing like a hell cat. Sounds like an old 440 with 3 and a half inch exhaust. Honestly minus the wine it sounds like my 70 se charger. It's got a 383 but it has 3 1/2 inch exhaust and 3 1/2 inch flowmasters. That shit is going to be badass though when it's finished. I can totally see the vision.

I approve solely because it’s NOT a Chebbie. I would have used a V8 Buick engine. However, im also a Mopar/ Ford fan too. Not a chebbie/GM guy. As a Buick guy and owning these cars since new in addition to the better faster reliable V8’s and Big Block Buick’s,, that is the best of both worlds. New modern Mopar in a Buick, is better than a chebbie. Anything but a chebie!
