i think the 3.6l might be the motor they put in the regal when they bring it back in 09-10... they already have the direct injection, they are a turbo away from a wicked motor... who knows they might make another t-type, personally i dont think they should make another GN. (a good car but dont...

i dont know about that... the new LS3 heads flow almost what dart BBC heads flow, the new LS3 block can handle major cubes... and it weighs what? 100lbs less? since the release of the LS7 the big block is dead. whats with you buick guys putting chevy motors in your cars? personally i...

an l69 could hold together, the 305 block casting has very thick cylinder walls, and you could tap the block for 4-bolt mains, you'd need aftermarket heads as the all of the 80's cylinder heads were boat anchors. but i think a de-stroked 305 down to a 285 (3.735bore x 3.250 stroke) would make a...

and as an answer to why people were buying SS's instead of regals, i can tell you why my father bought an SS brand new in 85 rather than a GN, in his words " the interior of the GN blows" plus when he took a GN out for a test drive it would hardly break a tire, and that did not impress him. plus...

remember 85? as a proud monte carlo SS owner, no car has a special place in the darkest corner of my heart like the GN/t-type. its not that i think they are ugly, or slow, or even bad cars. the GN shows potential for the monte carlo. in its stock form the only thing the monte has over the GN is...
