Nice looking car. I'd say to go over to the turbo buick web site. Lots of folks have engine trans combos for sale quite often and relatively reasonable... Do a turbo swap but leave it looking stock, as is... It would be an awesome sleeper.. 8)
 
i still havne't found a v6 that sounded good with upgraded exhaust.. if you plan on modifying the motor in the future, don't mess with the exhaust.. save the money to give it a motor that will growl on its own then upgrade if you still want to go that route.

as for what you should do with it, i'd say turbo it, everyone goes 350 or an ls swap, which would be cool but i'm still on the fence how i feel about that (even though i've contemplated it 100x's)
 
Nice regal great solid start! X2 on the Buick 350
 
Lose the nostalgia effect from the Buick motor guys..get yourself a good chevy 350 core have some fun and keep a little money in your pocket. plus you can walk in and buy chevy parts somewhere in most cities in the US..
 
ehh it's not a necessity but you definately get cool points for keeping buick..how much more are you spending and after you get the block.. what is so buick exclusive thats going to cost you so much more or hard to find??

there are 100 old buicks in yards everywhere i've been to and usually the blocks are still in the car or on a shelf
 
put a buick 350 or 455 into the car and you will love it ..
