Twin Turbo Buick 350 in Regal?

[sean Buick 76]

Thought I would see what you all think about using a twin turbo Buick 350 in a Regal for a street/strip car. I have a 78 Skyhawk that I was going to use for the twins but thinking a Regal may be a better platform. I have a bunch of these 350 cars and they run amazing, cant wait to boost one, since I got into the 12s with a 150 shot and a 3900 pound Buick.

I have 18 Buick 350s ranging from stock runners to rebuilt with forged pistons, custom rods, and ported heads. Recently I had a 350 built at 8.3:1 compression to run some boost, and was pleased it made 398 hp and 426 ft/tq before the boost. I had Burton Machine make me a single plane intake as well, and it is set up for multiport fuel injection so I'll be running a megasquirt setup tuned off my laptop.

Burton Machine is building TT kits for the Buick 350, I'm considering taking him a Regal so he can build me a kit to fit the car, then cage and tub it. Mine would be intercooled, and hopefully tube headers to the turbos.



This is Mark Burton's car:

What do you all think about using a Buick 350 since its pretty much a V6 with 2 more cyl? I'm aiming at about 800 streetable hp.

Cool, thanks for moving it, didnt see this section...

Should be fun and stay ALL BUICK, and V8 turbo. I've swapped in NA Buick 350s into regals without issue so it should be pretty straightforward.

Let me know what you think?
