    electronic speedometer conversion

    Not sure if the monte face plate would be compatible with an aftermarket speedo. That would be a deal breaker for me......I'm a big fan of a factory appearing cluster.

    Cadillac like Grill

    Interesting.......I've had a similar idea floating around in my head for years.....basically build a "what would a Cadillac G-body look like" tribute car. Have you thought about incorporating cadillac tail lights into the build? It would be fairly straightforward with 81-88 cutlass taillight...

[email protected] ^note it's been 12 yrs since I've emailed either of those addresses....if no response, ask the same question on one of...

    87 Buick regal ls swap

    Most economical would be to buy a complete set of brackets/accessories/bolts off of a junk engine. If you have an unlimited budget and/or you want an aesthetic looking setup, buy an aftermarket setup and new accessories. "Mid" setup sounds about right but you would have to verify with the...

    87 Buick regal ls swap

    Truck accessories clear, so that would be your most economical option. Truck engines are so common and so cheap these days that you just as well save yourself the headache and buy a complete donor with wiring, ecm, and accessories.

    CUTLASS Where is the best place

    It's going to be a long shot finding a complete header panel in a yard. I would search facebook marketplace, and fly into an area where you have a few decent cars being parted out. I always prefer buying from guys parting out cars in their spare time rather than salvage yards. The prices...

    What relays are you using?

    Crown Vics have a 70 amp relay with their own socket. I grab them every time I walk by a Vic at the U Pull It.

    Original Molly Designs Buick GNX Jacket for Sale

    Is that one of the original jackets that could only be obtained by purchading one of the 547 GNX's? If so, I would say $800 is way too low. Your best bet is to join turbobuick.com. Ask the question in the GNX section......also a good chance you could find a buyer there.

    What are you guys doing for fuel systems on your efi LS conversions?

    04ish and up are returnless......but that doesn't help you as I don't believe 99-03ish gen3 return fuel rails are compatible with a gen 4 intake.

    The cost-benefit to owning cars??

    I see the cost/benefit of my 86 442 working out in my favor. I bought the car in 2009 for a reasonable price. Swapped in a 4.8l LS and 4l60e on a budget......and now I just enjoy it. Liabilty insurance is a few hundred $ per year. Gas mileage is 20+mpg.......I drive it April -Nov....maybe...

    The cost-benefit to owning cars??

    You are correct in that girls won't be impressed by 40 year old run of the mill cars......but my 86 442 gets a fair amount of attention when I have it out and about......moreso than the modern belly button Camaros, Mustangs, and Corvettes. I've got to think that the Cadillac in your signature...

    Hurst Lightning Rods

    Good 2wd 4l80e's can be had for $3-500. Add a Transgo HD2 shift kit and I would trust that over a $3k 4l60e rebuild.

    Hurst Lightning Rods

    So back in the 80's if you were to buy lightning rods from a speed shop.....did Hurst also sell a shift plate?......or counsel? How were guys installing them?
