The Riviera compressor housing is stamped A/R.60

Thought I would throw these in. Dunno if anyone has combined the two. I believe 82 Riviera & 83 regal.

Very kewl. I follow TTA when I can. Love their methods.

Turbo crank will have rolled fillets on the rod journals along with mains.

80 may have blue paint still and 85 black

You cannot use the 85 balancer or flywheel with the 78-80 rods for balance issues. If there is a turbo crank present personally I would shelf it for the next build and use the 85 NA crank- it will be more than strong enough for a draw thru setup.

Pioneer CRB-196 78-80 rods only. There was two other different bolts used after that if memory serves me.

78 has aluminum supports front & rear. Both have rear sway bars but different from each other in design. No aluminum radiator supports. Notice the ignition release lever but no tilt. They better be worth more than scrap. I try to get most good out of them before I let the local dirt racers get them.

Located central Iowa.

Unsure of the correct place to post this but I am looking for the ambition to part out these two. The red 78 is a factory 4-speed 3.8 with steel moonroof. I will be keeping the seats & dash cluster along with wheels and window trim. It runs and drives but is so rusty the frame is broke in the...

Rough guess is that it is around 85% still here. If I use it as a donor for another car including the drive train- that Regal isn't worth much either.
