    3.5 inch front dash speakers

    I used these CH3220's, but had to mount them from the bottom to clear the grilles. Much easier if the gauge cluster is already out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLBHLG/?tag=gbody-20 Rktpwrd and Injectedcutty have apparently used the brs35's https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RNNX8U/?tag=gbody-20

    What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2023]

    I have lived in Kentucky and Indiana all my life (55Yrs.), owned about fifteen vehicles (1975to2011) and have never once had a vehicle inspection of any sort. It all sounds strange to me.

    WTF Hot Rod Magazine?

    Unfortunately Hot Rod is headed the way of the dodo bird. I obviously don't know the details of Motortrend's financials, but it seems as if they are just trying to choke it out. It's been going downhill since Petersen sold it off. I loved Car Craft, and Muscle Car Review WAS my all time favorite...

    REGAL Rare??

    I see you don't have a rear sway bar. I understand that you may not want to modify it much, but upgraded sway bars really helps the driving experience, even the factory F41 stuff would make a difference.

    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)?

    Not sure what vintage your engine is, but assuming factory hydraulic roller, something like this? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-8800/make/chevrolet They have larger ones too.

    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.
