Yes, it looks like someone jamed a Turbo into a GTP, not a retard who has no idea that DOHC does not equal turbo!

That is one ugly ass lookin' engine, I'm sure it would clean up nice.

Missing valence, thus endangering life of transmission.

Too bad they didn't actually turbo the 3.4

I'm willing to bet that was never a GTP, but a B4U equipped coupe (Grand Prix GT) that some one put a LG5 into.

There IS a guy in Windsor with a turbo LQ1 91 GTP with a 284, has videos on youtube as well.

Most if not all of the GT's that I've seen don't have the B4U, they have all of the luxury options, which this one certainly does. You're looking at the guage cluster, aren't you Matt?

If anything my money is that this was an SE for 1992.

Still an oddity nonetheless.

NO NO NO, he did it all wrong. You're supposed to strap the turbo to the 3.4!

EDIT: I see that's what Jeremy said.

By the gauge cluster, it was a LQ1 car.

LQ1 + 284 + B4U = GTP IIRC

EDIT - I see it may have been an auto car at one point. Haz 2nd gear start switch.

You're right.

It's the twin-cam guage, red line is higher, just pulled out the '92 Pontiac manifest thingy!

I wonder how shitty that swap is.....probably just threw it in there.

Wrong, My 91 3.4 284 car was an SE... It became a gtp when you ordered the quad buckets and hood louvers

Maybe it doesn't have to be one, but 95% of cars optioned like that are going to be GTP's.

That guy or one of the previous owners used to be a member and underhood was a hell of a lot cleaner way back in the day.
