ok i have been driving my 83 regal with a olds 307 motor and a bop th 350 trans for about a year now and its cool. but today my cousin pulled his 82 malibu out with a ls motor and a 4l60 trans and 3.73 gears in the back. and he is tearing those back tires up and truly i cant do that in my car. my question is can i just throw a chevy 350 (edelbrock intake/650 carb/and headers) a 200r4 trans and 3.73 gears in my regal and burn some rubber. let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!

check my car out on my youtube page pics are cool but video is much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oSjDcMsMHUdeo

two90west, Very nice Regal. I like the exterior / interior color combo. I had an 81' like that but with a blue interior and a SBC 350. Your Vin 9 307 sounds good with the flow masters.
 
Thanks bro but when you put the chevy 350 in was you able to burn rubber cause that's what I wanna do. Chevy guys please help me out
 
believe or not my v6 cutlass with a monte carlo rear end 3.42 gears would do donuts on dry pavement.
The set up you mentioned would be a great upgrade. But if all you want to do is burn rubber change the rear end out .
 
what gears in your car..i bet hwy gears, i bet your problem is more a gearing issue look for some 3.42 gears if running a t350 and 3.73 gears if you have a 2004r should have you smokin some tires...especialy 3.73s but they suck on the hwy unless your running an od transmission(2004r)
 
Oh yes what he said the combo u mentioned is ideal for what u want to do and some...
Im planning to do a 350 w/basic power adders like a nice set of heads,cam,highrise manifold exc...2004r trans or 700r,with a
3.42 geared 7.5 or possibly 8.5 rearend,but overall that combo should cook some tires
 
Thanks guys for the input I have the factory gears in the car now, are you saying if I change the gears that my 307 will cook some tires
