I currently have 81 Regal with a built N/A V6. I originally built this as a N/A car with the intention of modifying a centrifugal supercharger, but am contemplating a turbo. It has a single plane intake, Kenne Bell 2R cam (some specs in signature), forged pistons (9.25 to 1), 4.10 gears, and a...

I know, I know...a silly question. I am curious if it is legal to run an aftermarket poly style seat with stock seat belts. DOT or NHRA/IHRA legal, that is. Don't worry the car isnt fast enough to need a cage, just trying to shed any amount of weight I can by getting rid of the stock seats...

Regretfully, I am in need of some dough, and the toys are first to go :mad: I am looking to get rid of the car, engine, or both. See signature for specs or contact me with any questions. Details can be found at the link below but would also send addtional pics details by PM. The engine has...

I have gone to order an installation kit for my gears (4.10's!!) to go into my 1981 Regal and Jegs is asking me whether I have a 3" or 3.25" pinion bearing. It says up to '81 is 3" and '82 and up is 3.25". I don't have the gears out of the car yet and I suppose I could go by what they say on...

Can anyone do a VIN check for a possible "parts getter" I am looking at for the buicks??:wink: 1GCCS1459Y8211245

OK guys and gals, I have a baby on the way in like 3 months and I've gotta get rid of these. I bought these to put on my regal but have decided to keep the steel bumpers on and get a little cash for diapers, cribs, etc. These are brand new and never installed and are Danko Reproductions...

I feel somewhat ashamed posting this video amongst all the very nice cars, namely Dusty's and Don's videos. Just so you guys know, I pretty much watch Dusty's videos over and over! Anyway's this is a quick video of my latest project, that I have put a lot of work and time into and just...

Anybody have any recommendations for a N/A V6? I have bumped compression to 9.5 to 1, have a healthy hydraulic cam, single plane intake w/ Holley. The plug the book calls for is the R45TSX w/ .060 gap, should I change heat range/gap with the mods? Thanks, Aaron

Do any of you guys have any experience with the ABS (not fiberglass) bumper fillers offered at Gbodyparts and at other eBay and online stores? Since I have an '81, only the ABS style is available. How is the fit and finish, durability, etc. Thanks, Aaron

Is the driveshaft the same length and spline on a TH350C and the TH200 3-speed? I have a TH350C and need a driveshaft and have access to a free shaft from a 200 3-speed. Will this work? Thanks, Aaron

I just installed my oil pump in the front cover and had a question. The oil pump cover was slightly scored so i trued it up a little with some fine emery cloth on a block. I did the same to the face of the front cover where the gears are, not much but just to clean up the surface. My...

I know cam bearings have been discussed quite a bit, but I still seem to have a few questions, so here goes; I am in the process of rebuilding a 84-85 block. I got the Federal Mogul/SpeedPro rebuild kit and am having the machine shop install the cam bearings. Looking at the front cam...

Hey guys...I figured you all would be the best for this question. I have a block from a 84/85 T-Type and am using it in an application that will not require a turbo oil drain line. My question is, on 84/85's where does the oil drain? Do I need to block anything off? I will be using a...

Well I just received my new intake manifold gaskets for my Kenne Bell intake, and the first thing I noticed was how small the intake ports are cast in comparison to the gasket!! I'm talking like about 1/8-3/16 all the way around the runner. Don't get me wrong, I know there is usually some...

This is an extremely dumb question and I think I already know the answer, but...... Is there anyway to adapt a Stage II top end on a 109 block? Thanks, Aaron

Does anyone know what compression these pistons yield with an uncut block and heads? I have seen the specs somewhere that show the dish cc and what not. What specs do I need and how do I determine the compression ratio. Also, did steel head gaskets come stock on the turbo engines? What...

I already have purchased a hydraulic cam with the following specs: .494 in, .506 ex. 282 in, 292 ex. (adv.) 226 in, 232 ex. (@.050) When in the process of trying to find a suitable valve spring, a few people have recommended a solid or a roller. UnboostedV6, I know you've been here...
