Correct. I should of been clear as to what I needed. 1986 Regal 60/40 split bench power maroon.
What was bad was the seat that I pulled out of the car was in really good shape except for the plastic coupler on the motor. It broke when my 4ft 11 wife drove it and I couldn't get the seat back...
I have an 86 T-Type that I put some Camaro seats in it 10 years ago when I was young and stupid. I am wanting to put the interior back to stock and want the bench seat back in it. It originally had the 6 way electric bench (not the pillow top type). Any help would be appreciated.

Gents,
I have a fairly new th400 in my T and unfortunately it has sat for an extended time (5 years). The fluid looks brand new but she wont shift. Ive been told its a simple fix. Ive heard the modulator on the side and I have also heard to drop the valve body for possible stuck valves. Im...
Nick, thanks for the insight. And he has built 3 engines for me in the past and a really great guy and he knows his stuff. Now with this engine, the block and heads are the only thing stock with the heads being fully ported. Are you recommending going back to the steel shim HG's or would you...
Sorry about that. Its a CC hydraulic roller. Stock rockers with adjustable pushrods. Back when I had this motor built, I skimped on not buying adjustable rockers.
I dont mind re-torquing them but I was unaware I needed to. My ignorance. But if I go with a 9441 head gasket, its obviously thicker and I will need to adjust my pushrods to compensate for that. And that is one thing I have not done yet. Time to do a search I guess.
But how often should you re-torque? Like I said in the first post, I might have 3k on the motor right now. And no, he did not tell me I had to re-torque them.
Thats what I am leaning towards. I put a torque wrench set to 75 on the heads just to see what it would do and I was surprised how much of a turn it took. I checked the deck and all is well. I just want to get the car back on the road a bit before I put a Weber stroker in it next year.
Its a stock 109 that was "New" to me. Its a rebuilt .30 over. I wasnt expecting a blown head gasket since I never really ran the car hard. Maybe 15-17lbs. of boost at most. I did check the torque of the heads and it was way below 75ft lbs. Unfortunately this motor was built by a person in El...
