Thread: New here with my FIRST grand prix!

If the coolant is brown I doubt it was ever changed, the gasket change isnt hard at all $100 in misc things, gaskets, coolant elbows, valve cover gaskets w grommets razor blade and some elbow grease. Easy as pie

I dont want to pass the car up with something this small to do. I am a bit nervous about doing this lim. But hopefully it is something i am capable of. I have done them on small block chevy. This engine just looks a little more intimidating.

The 3800 was an amazing motor, it is just too bad they put it in such blah cars with the ****tiest transmission GM could think to throw in. The trans in the wbodies will grenade under the 170chp of the 3100 v6, and then they had the bright idea to put it behind a 300chp V8..............
