The reason for the 8.8 is b/c it is plentiful unlike the other options you mentioned... Whats the view like from your soap box btw?

Yea I got a little lazy and didnt post all the info over here. The swap works pretty well but I wouldnt reccomend the trz swap to anyone since the antisquat geommetry is actually negative causing odd and unpredictable handling. I contacted them about the issue and they werent real helpful. I...

Still working on geometry at the moment but the axles and carrier will be upgraded eventually. So will the gears since the car is now n/a. I appreciate the advice. Once I get the geometry sorted out I'll post results. Its been a long time coming.

thanks!

I built them. It was my first set and I couldn't be happier with them. All I used was a chop saw, 110 mig, die grinder and some basic hand tools. They are 16ga mild steel with 1/2" flanges and VHT 2000* header paint.

Heres mine. I was gonna run the T-56 but decided on a nasty th-400 with a 3100 stall instead. I'll probably regret it later but for now the 400 is alot of fun. The car is running n/a right now while I work some issues out.

I just got my car running last weekend. It's the one called Big Red in the V-8 conversion section. I want to start dialing in the car while it is still n/a so I'll be ahead of the game once I get the turbo on. I installed the 8.8 Ford rear with the TRZ kit and a fair amount of fabrication. It...

Just bolt it up to the ls block and you have to leave one bolt out. You either need a custom converter or a spacer to make the standard style th-400 converter work. Also Im using an iceman style crossmember for my car but you could probably mod the factory one to work. I hope this answers your...

Sorry it took so long here is a link to the same style seat except they have red stitching on them. Everyone on ebay pretty much sells the same 3-4 different styles of seat in several different variations. It took me a while to find the exact ones I wanted at the lowest price but it was very...

My wife wishes it was a budget build... But I have tried to save money where it was possible as long as it didnt effect the end outcome of the car. I just wanted what everyone wants... a super clean street car that makes decent mileage corners and brakes well and can whoop up on damn near...

They are actually ebay seats. I think I paid like $220 for them good quality too. I'll see if I can post up some more pics.

I made the headers and the plates and rubber mounts are from transdapt 1" setback frame pads are moroso 62630 with the area around the through tube radiused slightly. The mounts are actually a little wider than the pads so you can adjust the motor forward or back about 3/16.

Heres the 8.8 swap link and some build pics. I have done everything on the car myself (had help with the paint) and I have tons of pics so if you would like to see more pics of a certain part or need help with anything let me know...

I posted my build over on the turbo forums and I thought you guys might be interested so heres the link. Let me know what you think. "Big Red" 5.3 S472 Regal

Im in the process of finishing the fuel system in my 86 Regal turbo v-8 swap and I was trying to find an intank pump setup that has a 1/2" od or -8 outlet. It could come with or without a pump it doesnt matter. I was considering the 300lph bosch 044 pump since It should support the HP Im after...

Im not trying to sway you from a gen I sbc but there are alot of advantages to going genIII and it may be a bit cheaper.

Im running the msd 6010 box and a blow thru carb on mine the wiring is shamefully simple and the box only cost about $315 and the GM carbed single plane intake was around $350. The 9.5 : 1 comp on the 5.3 will be fine for boost as many are already boosing them. Here is my build thread on the...
