First off thanks for all the comments guys!

I struggled with the idea of installing the LS2 motor vs. a traditional 455 but for this project I wanted Modern Technology under the hood. (Over the years I've had about 10 GS's all with 350's and 455's) Plus I plan on driving it quite a bit otherwise for the money we spent we could have purchased a "Real" GSX but I think I would have been hesitant to drive it as much. The other thing is I wanted this GSX to stand out from all the other GSX's that are out there. (To my knowledge nobody has done an LSx powered GS or GSX?)

On another note, if TA Performance Products releases its aluminum block for the Buick 455 its very possible you'll see one of those under the hood someday! (Maybe even a fuel injected version)

Thanks again for checking it out guys!

I was shocked the other day when Milton Robson was talking to a guy about a 70 Stage 1 with a 4 speed that needed total restoration..It's going to cost well over $100K..and the guy won't sell it to him unless he gets to do the restoration..

Buicks can be a bit pricey to restore as the parts are harder to find and there are less reproduction parts available. We paid some ridiculous prices for some NOS parts we needed but we wanted the car to look brand new so we paid the price. In the long run I think it was worth it! I can easily see where a GS Restoration can reach 6 digits though. (If it's a frame off type deal)

Thanks for checking it out!
