- THE TIME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!! We get to take the SleeperGTP down the road to see how everything does. still needs more work, but it's getting closer and closer to being done!
For anyone who may be wondering, the high pitched noise is a split vacuum line for my fpr and the clicking noise when turning is the sound a detroit locker makes when turning. Had someone mention it so I figured I'd let everyone know here. thanks for watching!
Also, consider checking out the t-shirts I've made available and showing your support by picking one up! teespring.com/stores/autotechtylers-store
Very cool. This is what Grand Prix lovers dream of
My first car 😬I always dreamed of doing this
I’d love nothing more than to give these cars what they deserve. I love the 3800 but FWD doesn’t suit these cars.
@@notsogrand2837 On granny, My budget Base 3800 Has jus some LED's and a flashy cool air intake, math port installed ofc (Without fucks with shifting)
@@WILDWINGSMOFO I'm thinking of trying to make a CIA some time.
You said it bro. I love my my 01 Grand Prix so much. I sold it like a fold because I had no idea how or even if I could have done the Cavalier 5-speed swap with the Jeep CV axle with help from a machine shop. I saw it driving around 5 yrs after I sold it. It had perfect compression too. Water out the tale pipes every start up. Only had 85,000 miles when I got her salvaged put like $350 in it after I bought for $850. I sold it at 95,000 miles llike a fool for $1300.
Mane if you can build a kit for this it would awesome
I was told to make it work is as you can afford. Buy an old model camaro/transam/firebird as your parts rwd car. Then slowly convert everything over, however it will require fabrication work like this gentleman has done to his. I'll just go one step further and also swap the front end and the dashboard from the 04 gto.
@@DeUndefined1 lol at that point just buy a gto
Cab this be done to a 03 SS Monte Carlo
Impressive my friend. Worthy of a WS6 badge.
@greg Taylor
Indeed
Awesome fabrication, excellent skills! Great job! I wish our cars came rwd/awd from the getgo.
Thanks! This car has been my learning platform to get further into the fabrication game. It's not the prettiest fab work, but it is serving its purpose in how much I've learned from this project.
@@AutoTechTyler It's awesome, regardless. It shows people it can be done. Your only the 2nd one I've seen do a single motor rwd conversion. I look forward to seeing more!
This is what was needed in order to save Pontiac. A killer RWD model with an all wheel drive version available. Not a rebadged Holden!
Easy now. I have a G8 also haha. But I do agree. It was a missed opportunity to not have theses cars as rwd, BUT from the manufacturers perspective I do understand why they did things the way they did.
You’re a 100% right I hate Pontiac started turning into a abandoned brand and starting using other people things they use to be the trend setters back then early 2000s came and they started doing what Dodge does and started taking parts from European brands being lazy and wonder why no one bought them and currently Dodge is turning right back into that old brand about to go out of business rebadging Alfa Romeo crossovers
💯 I could only imagine the supercharged GTP with a manual and RWD throughout the 90s. Better yet, imagine the Fiero with the Turbo Buick (LC2) engines. GM always makes piss poor decisions.
Congrats on getting 'er moving!
Thanks man!
@@AutoTechTyler , I hope that you can eventually get seats put in the rear of the vehicle, as well as awesome upholstery and all of the things that you want put into your ride.
Insanity
I've said it for years and years, that when they came back out with the GTO it was just a rear wheel drive grand prix...
Facts! I’d just get a gto, there as cheap as $7500 up here but to each his own.
The main reason I didn't want to just buy an already RWD LS car is because I wanted to take on the challenge of doing this conversion. The knowledge and experience that I have gained from doing this project has been substantial and I wouldn't have been able to get that from just buying a car. This project was meant to be a platform for learning new things from the very beginning. Now that I have achieved what I have with this car I know that on the next wild thing I decide to do I'll have a new set of skills to be able to apply to it. And I gotta say. The look on people's faces when I open the hood of this car and they see what's going on is absolutely priceless haha
That rear ends whining. 😮 I think you need to check those gears and make sure they’re shimmed to the right clearance. Other than that, hell yeah bro! that is a dope car. I would take it and enjoy the heck out of it.💯👍🏼
Congratulations
i would love to meet you someday and this BEASTLY DREAM of a vehicle
Could always be a possibility! The red one I'm building now will probably be the one to see though!
That tie rod makes me nervous. But if it works it’s all good.
I've have had some concern expressed to me about those. It is a 5/8 grade 8 bolt with a thick walled 3 inch aluminum spacer that has a flanged nut on top with the spindle drilled to have a perfectly snug fit for the bolt to go through. I have had no real issues from this as far as flex, bends, or loosening up. I plan to eventually have either custom spindles made or have stock ones modified in the future, but for now I have placed my concerns elsewhere because this solution is holding it's own so far.
That Frankenstein Prix bro awesome I want one I like get one 08 model
Congrats man! So cool
The new GXP-R!
I just subscribed. Awesome work. I can't wait to see how it comes out when it's done.
Damn them fwd cars have some much room under the hood can fit one hell of a big block or a nice tt small block set up
Right?! Going to be perfect when it finally goes turbo!
Wish my Altima was rwd🥲
Brick buildings and narrow roads. Looks like NC.
Where did you get your engine bay cross beams!?!?! I've been trying to find aftermarket ones forever and haven't had any luck
They are custom made from aluminum. If you go to any laser cutting/metal working shop they should easily be able to make you some using your stock ones for reference!
@AutoTechTyler ah thank you dude I appreciate the reply and I'll have to look into it for sure!
Where is the first video where you started on this looking at doing the same thing
What’s your setup on the car from the time this video was released? Aftermarket Cam?
Can you help put me in the direction for a Chevy Impala SS conversion
I wanna see how you got the engine and the rear end in there that's the only thing I dont fully understand before I go to attempt doing that with mine
You'll have to check out my tear down videos when I go to take the car completely apart and finalize/paint some things. You'll be able to see everything pretty well when I do that. Sorry for the delayed response.
Great idea but it's been eight months how's the front end those tie rods holding up ?
It's sitting right out here in the parking lot at work from when I drove it here this morning. Zero issues with the front tie rod configuration and a few things have changed with the car since this video. Keep an eye out for an update in the next week or so!
Oh, she sounds so delicious!!! Long live the LS Victor Ocho!!!!!!
Take my money
Where did u get the steering wheel hub? What brand name etc....? Have an 06 GXP n wanna change my wheel
Wat k member are u using
What hood?
SD
Officer: sir, do you know how fast you were going?
*but, sir I was only going 0 mph* 5:21
😂 don't worry I fixed that issue
@@AutoTechTyler , you should look into getting a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP and do an LS swap, as well as some modifications ,to it, plus it is also a very good bargain of a vehicle, as Kelley Blue Book says that it is between $4,123 and $5,127 (as of 02/22/2021).
@@paxhumana2015 I actually sold my beautiful 2005 Bonnie GXP shortly after moving to North Carolina. Miss that car every day. Always wanted to do a rwd supercharged Northstar conversion to one and keep all the creature comforts in it. Just to stick with the original roots of it being a Northstar car to begin with.
@@AutoTechTyler , where you live looks like western Tennessee. Am I right in saying that is where you live in real life?
this is incredible man! Respect to the perserverence this must have took. Awesome car
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
I appreciate all the hard work you put into this car should have been RWD from the factory good work brother!
They were slated to be rear drive from the factory, but GM obviously decided against it due to the GTO and then later the G8. Looking under the W body, you can see the rear was infact designed for a rear axle.
wow, i want to see an 06-09 impala RWD so badly, ive seen monte carlos converted on UA-cam
Done on Stapleton42 UA-cam channel.
@@christophercaruso448 someone should do a pontiac G6 with a G8 or GTO drivetrain
The GM Prototype WAS Rwd but made into Fwd for the public
Yup that's what brought me here brutha
@@trainmanjosair the prototype of what?
If you didn't live so far from me we could set up a rwd conversion W-body race that would make for a good UA-cam video. I definitely know first hand how much work this involves to do this but knowing you have the only car like this on the road is worth it for me!! 2 years and $15,000 in parts and im just about done with my conversion also.
I always thought those GTP were awesome looking cars and wished they made them rwd from the factory
Hey congrats bud!! I can only imagine the feeling. Keep doing your thing!! I'm looking forward to some donut videos from Mexico. 👍
Great job man! I knew it could be done! Mad respect 🙏🏼
Oh I wished mine was rear wheel...... Sexy bro!!!!!
That’s awesome man! Hopefully get it all sorted out soon
Nice bro .my first 1 I ever seen petty fukn sweet
Super sleeper backyard exotic lol
this seenery looks just like warren county tennessee
That is really cool man. I have a 07 gxp that will eventually be RWD. This is goals!!
Wowww i want to do this to my 97 regal,
Very excited to see this moving!
This is the definition of going too fast before it starts to sound good
This is exactly what I want to do to my 2004 GT2 Grand Prix. But with a 6.2, and 6-speed transmission. I want it done professionally.
It really sucks gm never made one of these with a V8 rwd. I want to do this to mine so badly. Mines in great shape. Perfect dark forest green paint job. No rust underneath. I paid 100$ for it with a blown head gasket with only 105,000 miles on it. I had the heads resurfaced and replaced the head gasket, radiator, water pump, thermostat, and the water reservoir. I flushed the system and put regular coolant in it. Car runs great. Great acceleration for a V6. But, one day I want to make a track car out of it. I could just go get a car that's ready. But, I like sleepers. My plan is to stick an ls engine in it. I don't want to take it to drag races. I want it on a track. I think this will be a good car to do it. Since I've only put 500$ into it. I can get what I need from a junk yard and gut the car. So max money I'll put into it. Would be around what I'd think 6k. I want to turbo the ls engine. Maybe 10k into the project. But, I should end up with a track beast. Suspension will be redone. These cars should've been born with an ls. They're smaller than the Camero and Corvette. Gm sucks for not putting those engines in these cars. Garenteed they would've sold a hella alot more of them if they had.
I had exactly the same one but it was an 01 Pontiac Grand Prix GT two-door coupe with the 3.8 l V6 200 horsepower I've put a cat back exhaust system on mine when I first bought it and if you really want to open this thing up to make it sound really good you have to put on flowmaster super tens for the mufflers I had to get them customly installed because they wouldn't fit correctly so they have to do some adding this and adding that and cutting a little bit of this for those mufflers to actually work but once they put them on they look great and it only cost me an extra $150 for them to convert those to fit otherwise I would have to return them and then I wouldn't be able to use super tens. It sounded absolutely fantastic I had it on the car for about 6 months but where I lived the neighbors were complaining on how loud it was so unfortunately I have to take the mufflers on and I have to put some quieter flowmasters on it still loud but just not as loud as the super tens . Be prepared flowmaster super 10 mufflers are extremely loud I have a dual exhaust setup of these on my pickup truck. I replace 60% of the exhaust with a flowmaster exhaust system dual exhaust system and that exhaust system had the super 10 muffler 18 horsepower gain on a 5.3 l vortec V8
@AutoTechTyler I'm getting a 95 Grand Prix with an LS Swap. Do you think it can be done
Good Job man, truly Jealous. I LOVE Pontiac, it’s a shame they shut down.
Rwd drive is what the pontiac grand prix should have come stock with
Always wanted to do this to my SSEI supercharged Bonneville
Nice build I always wondered if it could be done
All I can hear is “it’s time to do some sketchy shit” after seeing that welded tie rod 😂🤷🏼♂️
“Noisy with the new exhaust though” meanwhile there’s absolutely no floor pan lol
What I want to do to my Grand Am GT , what do you all think? Possible?
bro thats an awesome swap , love it ,badass! You got a new subscriber for sure cant wait to see it smoking tires
Having fun I see love it . I'm building one to check it out on UA-cam.
I have a lumina 98 and I always dream of modifying it and turning it into a rear wheel drive. I see your videos since you started to modify your gtp .. congratulations...
They were popular RWD conversion prostock platforms in their day.
This is amazing! If this can be done, then I can definitely do this to my bonneville SSEi
Nice. I want to RWD convert my 92 coupe Deville.
This thing is wild!! Exactly what I would love to have someday! So badass.
Holy crap what did i just stumble upon. 😮
Can this be done to an 03 SS MONTE CARLO?
That is simply awesome. I have a 99 Grand Prix GT coupe. I bought new in March of 99, I still enjoy it very much. It's all stock. But I like what you have done to that GP.
That's awesome! I've always loved this body style of grand prix for sure. You should check out my most recent rwd swap project. It's actually using a 99 GT Coupe!
All that work when you could have just bought a gto none the less still badass
I'd take this over an exotic super car any day!
How much u charge to do same set up on impala 2007 ss badass bro
I own a Grand Prix super charged I love the car so much
Can’t be mad at it
These should have been RWD from the factory.
Noisy cause the back trunk floors missing
Really want to do this to my monte carlo. It sounds fantastic
Nice Job!
I figured maybe he would have roasted the tires on the turnaround.its definitely gonna be a beast when completed
Finally some1 put the gtp right ! Ive always wondered y it hadnt been done. Ive got a RWD Aussie L67 3800 vx commodore & always looked @ the gtp L67 3800 as what it could b if it was RWD.
I wish I could get a 3800 car from Australia!
@@AutoTechTyler another 5 more years bro !
@@AutoTechTyler , you can have an easier time importing an old 1974 Chevrolet Opala SS from Brazil or Argentina and make it into a true V8 powered SS. A LOT of people in the Americas, including the USA, have been modding them and they are awesome with that V8 under the hood.
Where are you located, NC? If so what part?
Badass!
BAD ASS!!!
Thank you!
I wanna convert my 2013 impala to rwd ls3. Dont tell me about costs just tell me how!
A lot of cutting and a lot of welding haha
Fuck yea . ive always wanted a rwd grand prix . I don't have the skills to make mine .. Kudos to you man.
Thanks a lot!
What drivetrain did you put in to make it RWD?
For the speedo check your rear abs I’ve had that issues once but on a different make
This things a total death trap... I love it! 😂
Can I get your # I’d pay you to convert mines
Concedering ls swapping 03 grand am gt
If only they came like that from factory
Was the 6.0 from a Tahoe or GTO lol...seems to be running good, ya buddy
In this video it has an LQ4 from an 04' Silverado 3500. It currently has an LQ4 from an 02' Sierra Denali. It's a hell of a good time that's for sure
Damn this made me wanna rwd swap my Regal even more 🤣👍
Go for it bro
Great to see it up and pounding the pavement!
I want to do a rear wheel conversion with a ls3 in my 06 g6 gt. I love the body sleekness. I’m starting a good job to buy everything . Think I can get it done?
Of course you can do it! Anything is possible. It'll be a lot of work and definitely isn't for the faint of heart, but if you are determined enough and stay dedicated to the project, you'll definitely be able to make it happen! What you're talking about should be a pretty cool car when it's all said and done.
@@AutoTechTyler thanks man I love ur videos
I need info was think about this the other day
Seems to run out pretty well though.
I found your instagram after looking up 3.8 Miata. Did it ever work out? Did you get a rear sump pan or cut the subframe?
I unfortunately had to sell that car before I moved to North Carolina. All I did on that car to make the oil pan work is notch the 3800 pant to clear the subframe. It wasn't bad to do at all. That was a fun little car.
Better do something about that pinion bearing.
Used r&p bought from a swap meet that was 21 years old. Have a full video detailing the assembly of the third member. All preloads and backlash are within spec with a good pattern, but still noisy. Can only assume that the r&p is worn in a way that it's noisy which is likely why I got it cheap and at a swap meet. Noise is also likely being amplified by the poly bushings in the rear control arms. Already have plans to replaced r&p with a new set once I have the money to do so. For now I will tolerate the noise and focus my efforts on other things the car is needing right now. All in due time.
What year is this and what door panels is in it
I had the exact same car but it was when it was brand new. I certainly miss it. GTP rear wheel drive is crazy... Your a crazy mad man... but I like you. But your crazy
I know the feeling.......It works!!!!!!
