I have been wanting a Regal for years now, just have never came across the right one for the right price for what I have in mind. I finally found the one, its a '87 Regal non turbo car. Its in excellent condition in/out but the motors got a knock so im gettin it for $500. Now that the backgrounds outta the way I got a few questions.
1. What all is involved in converting this car over to a GN/T-Type drivetrain? Is the tranny the same? Rear end?
2. Where can I find stock turbo motors or long blocks so I can put one in and drive it while I build a nice motor?
3. Do I need a computer from a turbo car? What about the whole harness?
4. Is the radiator the same setup?
5. Is the suspension the same?
6. What vendors on this site sell a lot of engine parts?
I'm planning on daily driving this thing as soon as I can get a running turbo motor in it, and then building up something slowly. Is it a hard swap or is it mostly just locating all the parts im gonna need? Anybody know where I can find a wrecked Turbo car to use as a donor? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just excited i finally found a g-body to start messin with. Ill prolly be on here a lot now.
