This traditional and affordable front engine\/rear-wheel-drive design lends itself to common upgrades and modifications for a wide range of high-performance applications, from drag racing to road racing. Many of the vehicles GM produced using this chassis were powered by V-8 engines, and others had popular turbocharged V-6 configurations. Some of the special-edition vehicles were outfitted with exclusive performance upgrades, which can be easily adapted to other G-Body vehicles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnowing which vehicles were equipped with which options, and how to best incorporate all the best-possible equipment is thoroughly covered in this book. A solid collection of upgrades including brakes, suspension, and the installation of GMs most popular modern engine-the LS-Series V-8-are all covered in great detail. The aftermarket support for this chassis is huge, and the interchangeability and affordability are a big reason for its popularity. It's the last mass-produced V-8\/rear-drive chassis that enthusiasts can afford and readily modify. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is also great information for use when shopping for a G-Body, including what areas to be aware of or check for possible corrosion, what options to look for, and what should be avoided. No other book on the performance aspects of a GM G-Body has been published until now, and this book will serve as the bible to G-Body enthusiasts for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Hinds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613254946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613254943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cartech\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Joe Hinds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052444643583,"sku":"9781613254943","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62ba8d89-44ff-45f5-a722-b2fe2a1a56c6.jpg?v=1685018829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gm-g-body-performance-upgrades-1978-1987-joe-hinds-9781613254943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
