    What to keep from LS1 donor vehicle?

    I have a 2000 Camaro Z28 and am planning on transplanting the LS1/T56 into an 86 Regal. I'd like to get rid of the Camaro shell ASAP and was wondering if there was anything special I need to keep off of it. I'd like to have the A/C and cruise control function in the Regal. I plan on keeping...

    265/35-18 Front Tire

    I'm getting ready to buy a set of wheels from CCW. The front rim will be 18 x 9.5 with a 4.75" backspace. For those of you who are running a 265/35-18 up front, are there any fitment issues?

    Frame Diagram Needed

    I'm working on the frame of my car and am in need of a frame diagram that shows the measurements of key areas of the frame, like what a body shop would use to straighten one. I have a feeling the back portion of my frame is tweaked. Any help is much appreciated.

    WTB: 98+ Blazer Spindles

    I'm looking for a set of 98+ Blazer spindles. I'll take them with or without the hub bearings. If anyone asks, I'm not interested in the brakes, just spindles and hubs. Let me know what you've got!

    What has Interchangeable Doors?

    I'm headed to a southern junkyard and am hoping to score a set of rust free doors for my Regal. What other models (monte carlo, cutlass, malibu etc) have interchangeable doors with Regals?

    3-Link

    Thanks for the response. I was planning on moving the lower control arm locations but that seemed easy compared to the fabrication required for the top link. I'm putting together a Ford 9" so I'm already making special brackets etc. I know the watt's link locates the rear roll center at the...

    Doesn't the GNX have a torque arm, like a mini F-body setup?

    3-Link

    I'm getting ready to get serious about building an LS powered G-Machine Regal but it'll mostly be a street car.. Has anyone ever put a 3-link rear suspension in one of these cars? I'm currently doing some layout work in CAD to see if there are gains to be had over the factory 4-link. If I go...

    Anything Worth Keeping in a Turbo-200?

    I bought a standard Regal for my next project car. It had a 307 and a Turbo 200 trans in it. I'm considering using a 200-4R for this build so is there anything worth keeping off of the 200? Are any internals the same that I should hang onto or should I scrap it.

    Buying a Regal. What to look for?

    I've been reading a lot on here but this is my first post. I've been looking to pull the trigger on a Regal so that I can start a G-body build. What are the problem areas for these cars? I don't care about the drivetrain or suspension since it will all be replaced. A friend of mine said...
