- 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!

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.
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.
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
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.
this is incredible man! Respect to the perserverence this must have took. Awesome car
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
Impressive my friend. Worthy of a WS6 badge.
@greg Taylor
Indeed
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?
Great job man! I knew it could be done! Mad respect 🙏🏼
That’s awesome man! Hopefully get it all sorted out soon
I'm just coming across this now, ridiculous build you got going there. It's awesome to see it hit the road, great work!
Thank you! It has been a long road for sure and I have still got miles to go!
This thing is wild!! Exactly what I would love to have someday! So badass.
That is really cool man. I have a 07 gxp that will eventually be RWD. This is goals!!
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!
Very excited to see this moving!
Someone told me I was crazy for wanting to do this and you actually did it. Great work!!!
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 TH-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.
DAAAMN, That's insane lol!!! I LOVE IT!! Just got another GTP after 20+yrs of waiting and searching since my first GTP w/NOS!! I'm getting my S/D Ram Air hood wrapped tomo that I've wanted just as long and I'm so excited!! The suspensions was beefed up and it's like it was built for me and the way I drive lol!!
my dad had a GTP and i loved it. you put a whole new meaning to Grand Touring Performance
Hey congrats bud!! I can only imagine the feeling. Keep doing your thing!! I'm looking forward to some donut videos from Mexico. 👍
I just subscribed. Awesome work. I can't wait to see how it comes out when it's done.
This is amazing, well done my friend!
Great to see it up and pounding the pavement!
bro thats an awesome swap , love it ,badass! You got a new subscriber for sure cant wait to see it smoking tires
This is outstanding, definitely earned a new subscriber!
Happy to have you! Hope you enjoy the channel!
That was intensely savagely AWSOME!
Congratulations on the build, it sounds awesome brotha!!
Thank you! Can only get better from here
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!
You have the king of grand prixs. I'm subscribed now and keep going with it bro. Thats amazing
Thanks man! She's nowhere near the king though haha
@@AutoTechTyler , I guess that you miss the 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ?
Congrats man! So cool
Thanks, I've been considering doing this similar swap to my 4 door gtp.
You sir deserve a medal
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.
Nice build I always wondered if it could be done
I'm not ashamed 2 say this... You're My Hero!!!
Speechless
This is amazing! If this can be done, then I can definitely do this to my bonneville SSEi
Dope build
wow, i want to see an 06-09 impala RWD so badly, ive seen monte carlos converted on TH-cam
Done on Stapleton42 TH-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?
Congratulations
Sounds beautiful
Insanity
Nice. I got a 2002 GTP a couple weeks ago. I was kicking around the idea of converting it to a rear wheel drive. Now after watching this, I definitely am. But I will likely use a supercharged 3.8l. Thanks .
Same
But a stroker tho
Thank you man 🫡🫡🫡
That car sounds beast
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.
Love it!!
This is badass! Lol. Nice job man!
Thank you! It's a lot of hard work, but it's all worth it when going out and doing donuts in a car that was originally fwd haha. The car has come a long way since this video and still has a long way to go until I'll be fully satisfied with it!
fits like a glove
Nice bro .my first 1 I ever seen petty fukn sweet
This is awesome
Nice Job!
I know the feeling.......It works!!!!!!
This things a total death trap... I love it! 😂
For the speedo check your rear abs I’ve had that issues once but on a different make
Really want to do this to my monte carlo. It sounds fantastic
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
😮 great engine swap
The new GXP-R!
How is this even possible I love it
Haha it was possible with a lot of dedication and a get r done attitude lol
@@AutoTechTyler real shit lol 💯💯💯😂😂
Always wanted to do this to my SSEI supercharged Bonneville
beautiful
Badass!
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.
YOU'RE A 🤬 BEAST BRO! 🤘
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 good reason for the gxp to get removed form a lot of people bucket list lol rwd all day
I figured maybe he would have roasted the tires on the turnaround.its definitely gonna be a beast when completed
Can’t be mad at it
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
Insane
Fucking badasss
That Frankenstein Prix bro awesome I want one I like get one 08 model
Damn this made me wanna rwd swap my Regal even more 🤣👍
Go for it bro
97-03 3800 V6 Pontiac Grand Prix and 99-04 3800 V6 Ford Mustangs are my favorite. My stang is manual. If I would have known I could do this 12 year ago with my 01 grand Prix. I would have done the 5spd swap.
Looks like great fun, but what if it breaks while driving?
I am in Love with your car! I wish to God my car could be like that. I have a 2006 grand prix. I hate being broke, and a poor mechanic 😥
BAD ASS!!!
Thank you!
Holy crap what did i just stumble upon. 😮
Having fun I see love it . I'm building one to check it out on TH-cam.
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!
nice GTO bro..
Awesome
Sounds like a monster 👹
She's a beast man! Can't wait to get a cam in her eventually
I’ve said for a while now I would love to do a similar build. But wow, this is incredible!! I love it! I had no idea anyone was working on one of these currently. Congratulations man!
Thank you! It's been a lot of work, but the feeling of this first drive has made it alllll worth it!
@Faith Legere, there are tons of videos that are on TH-cam, as well as elsewhere, online, not to mention tons of car groups that are are also online, and lots of websites that are also online, that can help you to get that done with your ride. You also might have some good resources that you do not even know about where you live in real life that can help you make that car happen. I also gave the person that put up this video some information on another good potential idea for a project car that is very cheap to buy that can also become a real monster when you fix it up right. Perhaps that post can also be a source of inspiration for your own ride? Anyway, if you need my help on getting that stuff done, I could try to find some links for you to get that done for you.
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!
@AutoTechTyler I'm getting a 95 Grand Prix with an LS Swap. Do you think it can be done
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.
what transmission do you have and how much did you send on making this grand Prix rear wheel drive?!?!
Where did u get the steering wheel hub? What brand name etc....? Have an 06 GXP n wanna change my wheel
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.
What’s your setup on the car from the time this video was released? Aftermarket Cam?
Well. Looks like I need to go out, find me another grand prix, to gut it and start another project. Great job. 4th gen ls 5.3 with single turbo, cam, headers, fuel 8njectors, 8ntake, stage 2 heads, give you at least 700hp/860lbs-ft, a serious sleeper
Already plan on doing heads and a big single turbo on this 6.0!
@@AutoTechTyler I can't wait to see your video, when you do er up.
I would make the time to build that rwd chassis, that's real serious, imagine the hearts you would break, when you smoke ppl. Taking out stangs, vettes, with a sleek W-body Prix.🥰😱😱😱, they be😠😠😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, while you be😁😁😁😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.💯👍🏼
Super sleeper backyard exotic lol
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.
Rwd drive is what the pontiac grand prix should have come stock with
I always thought those GTP were awesome looking cars and wished they made them rwd from the factory
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!
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!
What drivetrain did you put in to make it RWD?
How much u charge to do same set up on impala 2007 ss badass bro
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!
