Bro..go to http://www.psiconversion.com/. You can get a standalone harness for around $500-600. Just give them a call and they will get you right. All this $1000 or more for a harness just made me earl...Thank me later!
Also Brendan from lt1swap.com flashed my PCM for $65-70.
i do turnkey 5.3/6L packages if you're interested. includes modded standalone harness (3 wire hookup) and completely reconditioned low mileage motor. PCM flashed to remove VATS and rear O2s and a few sensors that are removed in the conversion. I'm in the Atlanta area. If you're interested PM...
i asked these same questions when i inherited my Regal. If you're looking for horsepower then the 307 is not it. For the money you'll throw at it, in the end you'll still be looking for more HP. With that same money you can definitely stick with Olds or Buick and FIND a 350 thats not an...
An inexperienced hotrodder should also want to enter the game learning some newer technology, just like an experienced hotrodder would. Trust me I WAS YOU AT ONE TIME. A NEWB in every sense of the word. Do your own research. Listen to guys building 307s like fools and you'll be chasing 30-40...
95% of the 'builds' i see on here are beaters in every sense of the word. people come to this board to get that beater running for what they need and they're gone. then they'll buy a pontiac grand prix or equally newer beater when the old cutty or regal goes out. no one is dumping serious...
Quit wasting money on old carb'd motors. Go get a 5.3 or 6L from the yard and swap the cam and valve springs with something mild like the z06 for the 5.3 and get 350rwhp. Fuel injection is the best way. Take it from a guy whose built a $3500 402HP dyno'd Gen 1. You can do this whole swap for...

i've been slacking on checking for updates and i must say GATDAMMMN. i can't wait to see how this runs now.

Jegs 6-3/4" balancer
You will need a 8" balancer from my experience..possibly a reason for the problems you've noted with the cracked bellhousing, etc..I'd definitely confirm that before pressing the Jegs balancer on bro..seriously. Just my...
I went with the QA1 'economy' coilovers. Only the ride height is adjustable but they're awesome. I achieved the 2" drop I wanted and with the 450lb springs its a nice stiffened up ride..lovin it..i didn't have the money for double adjustables and since it's just a weekend cruiser I didn't want...
where did you get the oil pan? looks factory. i have a 5.3 from a 02 tahoe that i recently picked up. i've seen the holley one and a few others on ebay. post the part number and where you bought it if you don't mind bro..and that Bu is bad *ss..hard top..classic and hard to find.
get a good flashlight or lamp and shine through the bottom of the lower control arm and you'll see the two bottom bolts. you'll need a fairly long extension and swivel adapter for your socket (magnetized will help when the bolt is out..if it falls where you can't get to it..removing the out...
part it out. i'd like to make my offer for the hood, trunk, rear window trim and center console. i only say this because it'd take a fortune to restore that car. part it out and put that towards one in better shape if anything.
Re: 79 pro touring build
whoa...that's a little sensory overload for a first post here on GBF!! i'm droolin over that LSX turbo setup..welcome to the board.
Summit Chassis Shield is a good all in one product..comes with epoxy primer paint and catalyst. well worth the the $50-60. i'm actually buying more to do my control arms and front suspension parts that i'm reusing.
i spent a while going back over the older build posts for some added motivation..alot of the things you did with the SS i'm doing now with my regal..i know the Alibu is gonna be sick with the goodies lined up for it..off the clock in 45 minutes and i'm off til monday so i needed this!
looking good brother elco...I just got back on the regal with the warm weather..i'm dropping the motor/transmission in this weekend.. when you think you'll be riding? i'm hoping around Cinco de Mayo I'll be able to take her for a light spin..
