    REGAL Rare??

    The first G body I ever rode in and drove was my sister's car, a 1979 Regal, same color combination as yours, but 3.8 2brl, auto. Yours is very cool. What transmission are you punishing with the 454?

    Vacuum Lines on Intake and Valve Covers

    No dog in the fight here, just trying to understand. The "red to red" is just a clean air source for PCV? And the brass or pass. side ports are subject to manifold vacuum, hence the PCV valve in that circuit (in v/c or hose)?

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Is this your Granddad's place? I guess there's always been "that guy" that does cool sh*t, but who's shop is all squared away and neat. I'm the same, except for the squared away, neat, and cool.

    Open vs limited slip

    Yes, as far as I know that is true, but the diff he's looking at is a Yukon brand. Hopefully he gets the right axles for it.

    Open vs limited slip

    Here's the Moser axles. Not sure off the top of my head what to do for studs. Yours should be 7/16" x 20, and the stock size knurl would be too small for the Moser ends. I believe they are drilled for the '82-'88 metric studs. Maybe someone will chime in with a solution...

    BOP manual trans bellhousing

    Good observation. Is it safe to assume the A body specific bellhousing isn't necessary with a hydraulic release/throwout bearing?

    BOP manual trans bellhousing

    Perusing around the Silver Sport Transmission website and happened upon this: https://www.shiftsst.com/bellhousings-aluminum-BHG-00120/p35 Might find one cheaper, but at least they're available.

    That's what she said. Very cool work Donovan. I assume these will give you turning room at ride height, but still be tight laid out?

    BUILD THREAD '78 Cutlass Supreme Lichen Edition

    One option for the steering wheel would be just replacing it. I have found a couple on Jeep Cherokees in local salvage yards. I used one (center pic) for a while until I found my current '84 Toronado wheel. I had to do some minor mods to get the horn functionality right.
