look in the V8 conversion forum above this Hybrid forum...

ls1 in a buick is a no no unless its turbo'd

Nice motor! I don't see an issue placing one in there. they make lots of goodies for these newer motors.

If you keep all your original turbo engine it is a plus to a resale down the road.

Lil Six pack,

Resale would be great if my Regal was a turbo. It is really just a 231 CU. with a 4BBL carb and intake.

But with me adding the LS1 I am hoping to make dual burn marks on the pavement instead of single ones like my signature photo. LOL (Yes, rear end swap is coming as well).

Seems to be a more and more common conversion. Definately check out the V8 section.

I think the LS series engines are the sh!t, and very much want to swap one into my daily driver 86 Chevy pickup. Nothing intrinsically valuable about a garden variety NA V6 Regal, so why not do it?

Ls in would be awesome. You could even go 5.3L and do it much less expensive. I considered an LS series 97-02 for my Chevelle.
