This is My 1982 Chevrolet Citation X-11

The only external upgrade done to this car was the addition of Hella European Headlights and Fog Lamps. Exterior modifications will be kept to a minimum. The stock aluminum X-11 wheels will remain in place.

The X-11 is a rare car indeed. The suspension is already finely tuned for performance. HUGE sway bar, wide tires, and beefy struts enable this car to handle EXTERMELY well. In the autocross and rally circuit, the X-11 is still winning races to this day.

This is the stock HIGH OUTPUT 2.8L V6 engine. The hood is a FUNCTIONAL cowl induction hood that lets additional air into the carburetor under FULL THROTTLE.

After 400,000 faithful miles (and still running), the 2.8L moves out to make way for a Fuel Injected V8

This is the GM built 4.9L Port Fuel Injected V8 that will be powering the X-11

This is the 4.9L V8 and it's matching 4T60Ehd 4-spd automatic transaxle on the cradle being wheeled into place.

The 4.9L is in place and ready for the wiring to begin.

The V8 X-11 runs under it's own power

The engine bay has been refinished in Black Gloss Rustoleum for a hard protective finish. The "V8 PFI" has also been accented with red paint

DUAL 3-chamber flow masters give the car a very deep, aggressive tone

The dual exhaust system is fed by 2.5" inner diameter pipe from the front of the car to the rear.
