1981 LC-2 powered Buick Century Station Wagon
I would like to share my car, a 1981 Buick Century Wagon. It has a 1986 Buick Grand National engine and trans. There are a bunch of mods done to it so far, with much more to come. Low 12sec/high 11sec 1/4 mile is what I am shooting for. But it'll be difficult with the pro-touring suspension that is going on it from my Chevy Malibu Wagon. So read on and check it out, send me comments and rate me up! THANKS and ENJOY!
!!!UPDATED 19FEB2009!!!
24MAR2009: I also ordered a polished up pipe to replace the piece of shit exhuast pipe that is there now. I also bought a new cam sensor, this one is messed up, and I bought a Caspers four wire heated oxygen senor kit for it. I'll add pics to when everything gets here. I have a few new exterior pics with the ride with Rally wheels on it.
Here is the Casper's heated oxygen sensor kit and the up-pipe.
12FEB2009: I re-arranged the site. I have to take few more pictures of the car. But I have fixed a few things.
1) I fixed the roof. It was caved in pretty good. So I took out the headliner foam since it was jacked up anyway. Then I cut the glue holding the inner roof braces to the outer roof skin. I was then able to pop up the roof with pretty much no dents, looks good.
2) I pulled the carpets from it and remover the seats. I have factory bucket seats and brackets from a Monte SS. I have power drivers side seat tracks too. I got a console from a Grand Prix. I also bought a new black carpet for it. When the weather breaks I'll be cleaning the surface rust from the trans tunnel and passenger front floor pan, and fixing 2 rot holes. Weld the seat brackets and console brackets in. Then I'll coat the floor with RHINOliner to make em tough. Then I'll add some dynamat and put the carpets back in it.
3) Pulled the heater box lid from under the hood since it was leaking pretty badly. I resealed it and let it cure, no more leaks.
4) Pulled the Weld wheels off it since the tires aren't safe for the street. I put some old rally wheels I had laying around on it.
5) I bought an RJC PowerPlate to put it, supposed to help even out air distribution to the cylinders so none of them run leaner than the others.
I'll keep moving the updates to the appropriate page as a new update it added.
Here it is with the rally wheels.
