I'm nowhere near getting my mock up block sitting inside the bay much less having a frame back under the car. Nevertheless, I want to know what kind of hood clearance to expect so I can continue to buy a few pieces. I'd love to run the Hi Ram with the 417 air to water so I could avoid a mess of...

A while back my grandfather bought a '78 Regal with a complete '87 GN drivetrain and some GNX goodies built by some GM engineer around the time the GNX was sold. I've posted on here about it before...some have heard about it, seen it, knew the guy who built it, etc. Anyhow, it wasn't running...

Saw the title and the first thing I looked for is the date it was published...

Is it big enough? Sorry for the poor quality on the second picture. I didn't realize how bad it was when I took it.

Yep...silly midwest. But Wednesday wasn't so bad afterall. Another week down and I got nothing done. There's always the weekend. Saw a good deal come up on a badass Fluidyne radiator on Ls1tech so I went ahead and got it for the GNat. I was getting bored of the project again since I haven't...

Holy cow. It's been a while since I've visited the ol' turbobuick.com. I haven't touched the Buick since the last time I posted. We've just been so damn busy at the shop...busy enough we've brought on two more guys since Christmas, expanded into the back area which was previously used as storage...

It's very simple and you'll come out ahead by selling the T56 and going to a 4L80. You'll need the flex plate, converter, a new harness from PSI for simplicity's sake, and you get to retain the Regal pedal assembly which makes your life easy. Then you'll need to have your computer reflashed...

The Ls1 route will be substantially cheaper if you buy a complete, running motor. An Ls1 typically goes for $1,500 whereas the Ls2 goes for $4,000. Onto the question at hand: Yes, both will work. GM hasn't changed the bolt patterns for bellhousings for a LONG time. If you plan to drive the car...

Yep. Been pretty busy lately. Unfortunately, equipment takes up space. And space isn't something we have any access of. Lol. We're trying to be more organized to use space more intelligently, but much like my Buick, you have to take a couple steps back to take a couple steps forward. We had to...

Well it certainly looked that way, didn't it? But that is not the case. I got into a funk after thinking about all the money and time this car needs to get finished. So I started putting some money into the GTO so I could have more fun with it while finishing the GN. Bought some BC Racing...

Jeez, been a little while since I've been on here and with little progress made on the car. Just been so busy with the other shop builds and working on everyone else's cars but my own. But the frame will be under the body today or tomorrow. FINALLY! They I can begin to assemble the car again...

The car is at my shop in Bridgeton/Earth City. I'd like to be farther. ...but other things came up and that's quite alright. Keeps me from spending money so quickly. Unfortunately, the body is still not back on the frame and my beautiful frame is sitting outside. We've been doing some...

Correct.

Coming together nicely. Are you going to relocate the coils or anything? Is there a reason you went with the F-body accessories? I just ask because I have the accessories for an Ls from the GTO, truck, van, and F-body, and I've yet to decide which to use.

Thanks for the help, guys. Just a tad bit late, though. ;) Ended up getting this all taken care of a week or 2 back. The VIN plate was stolen prior to me owning the car. The guy we got it from told us about that prior to purchase. He's in IL, we're in MO. He tried getting this taken care of...

Yep. Should be a pretty stout bugger now. I'm happy with it.

See???

Oh ye of little faith... Don't you worry about that. Mounts are already in their home.
