    BUICK 250 Inline 6 Into My 78 Skylark

    SO.....I just dropped a 250 Inline 6 into my 1978 Buick Skylark! DYING to drive her test it out! I know they don't have a whole lot of HP but Torque is what I'm looking for right now at the moment as well as dependability and durability! It's not going to be a daily driver like I was using it...

    My Cutlass Engine Swap

    CaliWagon83's Consolidated Question/Tech/Update thread

    Hi All! I'm about to inherit an '83 Regal wagon that's been in the family since new. Right now it's in Tennessee, but will soon make its way back out to the Left Coast. It's pretty clean and relatively low-miles (I think about 63k right now). It's that ubiquitous baby blue metallic with...
