Damn, that's a purdy motor. You make it look too easy, Toby. It'll be a real nice car when you get through with it.

TobyP you are a savior (not just to the car) - I needed some pics of a Regal front end being taken apart and your build has just what I need - thanks! Good luck with the restore, looking great so far!

Thanks for the kind regards. I am finishing up on the engine now. After forgetting many pieces and tearing this thing apart to put it back together I believe I am finished. Next step will to put her in the cradle and bolt her down. Picked up a nice pair of HR Parts poly motor mounts for a good price at GS nationals this past weekend and some other extras.

Looks like my girl friends old 84' GN. It has the Lear Siegler seats right?

 

[tobyp]

Yup has the LS seat option. Can't wait to get the new covers for them.

Engine in the cradle! And I got all the engine ECM and headlight wiring installed. Tomorrow she will have inner fenders!


What was left over of the old decorated wire looming. Installed some new auveco oem loom



More pics of the engine in the cradle

Mocked up my home made CAI kit today. Was able to run 4" into the maf.
