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 can be easily adapted to other G-Body vehicles. Knowing which vehicles were equipped with which options  and how to best incorporate all the best-possible equipment is thoroughly covered in this book. 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. Its the last mass-produced V-8\/rear-drive chassis that enthusiasts can afford and readily modify. There is also great information for use when shopping for a G-Body  including what areas to be aware of or check for possible corrosion  what options to look for  and what should be avoided. No other book on the performance aspects of a GM G-Body has been published until now  and this book will serve as the bible to G-Body enthusiasts for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929644400693,"sku":"ByrdShop_1613250320","price":348.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781613250327.jpg?v=1794198145","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/gm-gbody-performance-upgrades-19781987-performance-howto-9781613250327","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
