    REGAL 84 Buick regal. Spring updates

    Good deal man! Sounds like you did what I did. Unhooked shifter cable, speedo cable, removed crossmember, driveshaft, bell housing bolts, converter bolts and slid it back enough to get in there.

    REGAL 84 Buick regal. Spring updates

    Depends on engine and transmission. WIth my big block chevy and turbo 400 transmission I had to slide the entire transmission and torque converter back in order to do it. Like I said though, if you don't have a roll pin or a dowel of some sort in the end of the crank shaft then you really...

    Cant BELIEVE it was in the junk yard! Ever had that experience?

    I'd say the craziest thing I have seen in a yard is an early 70s split bumper Camaro rotting away. No engine, transmission, interior or rear end. Just Sitting on top of 4 steel wheels. It even had the hump and hole in the floor for a stick. No idea what year or model but I like to tell myself it...

    Flat earth people are stupid!

    To quote my grandpa, "religion is a mental illness". Reminds me of a conversation we had at work the other day about how so many people will slam others for believing in things like climate change, evolution, dinosaurs-basically anything regarding science because SCIENCE IS EVIL-but yet in the...

    Flat earth people are stupid!

    What's crazier? People believing that the earth is flat or people believing that there's an almighty god? Same difference :rofl: I had to go there

    Texas82GP's GMT900

    I can't answer for the OP but from my reading-light at that-the 6L80e has more problems than the 80e, and the gear spread isn't much different. Ironically I learned this when doing the research for the OD transmission I want to end up with in the aerocoupe.

    Battery relocation

    Im in the process of doing this now. Using 2/0 welding cable running my hot straight to a kill switch under the car, then up to the glovebox where I have my junction point. Then from there I have a 2/0 cable going through a hole I drilled in the trans tunnel to the starter. I could have used the...

    Texas82GP's GMT900

    Im tuning in for this one. I have an 07 with the even weaker 60e. I have always wondered what it would take to go to an 80e when this one Pearl Harbors itself.

    81 LeMans , body mounts

    Sweet ride! Those aren't chrome soft 8's. They are either Weld Drag Lites or a knockoff variant of them. Just look up drag lite wheels.

    CHECK YOUR ANTIFREEZE!!!

    Im in Ohio. I put antifreeze in it when I put the engine in in September but I never checked the freezing point with my gauge like I normally do. Thats what I was getting at with "check your antifreeze" lol.

    CHECK YOUR ANTIFREEZE!!!

    I know it should be common sense by now but I nearly got bit in the *ss by something im usually so ahead on. This morning I had the random thought to check my coolant in the aerocoupe since this polar vortex sh*t is freezing everything around here. Car has been sitting stored for a few months...

    I hate New England

    As much as I hate the Pats I figured it would happen. Andy Reid doesn't win big games, and that comes from an Eagles fan that watched him lose 3 straight NFC Championship games as the Eagles head coach 01-03, make the Superbowl in 04 only to lose to the Pats and give Tom Brady his 3rd ring in 4...
