[David Williamson]

What kind of build did you do to the 3.8 did you gain extra horsepower?? what mods did you do?

Whoops i just noticed you didnt buy the car yet, I you do let me know how she goes

Will do, Thanks.

Going to see the car tomorrow, But he finally told me last night what the interior is, its black velvet crush.
Which made me feel real off on the whole car now, I am not a fan of that type of interior.
Now if I liked lowriding my car, I would but I just don't like the idea.
So what I will have to do is redo or replace the whole interior.

Don't worry until you actually see it, it might look fabulous, lol. Good luck! 😀

That is true, and I don't think it'll be much to get some good interior from pull-a-part for cheap.
If its not likable.

Thanks.

Sorry David, nothing personal but I'm going to say due to your history of getting screwed over and making bad decisions, you're just heading for another crash. You have been given advice in the past not to buy some one elses 'modded' project due to you limited mechanical aptitude and you agreed. You have also been given the advice to buy a car that's already setup the way you want it and again you agreed. Now you want to go out and get rid of your ( presumably ) only decent reliable car and trade it for a modded up 'hot rod' V6? Seriously dude, WTF?

But hey, who knows, maybe everything will work out OK, but if I were a betting man I'd say you're setting yourself up for another disaster.

I'll have to double, DoubleV's response here 🙂 If that Honda runs as good as you say, do not trade for this. DO NOT DO IT.

I would not do the trade either, a built 231 would still be a dog of a motor. Poor flow, low CR, weak thrust bearing, etc. Heck it took GM to turbo charge, intercool, and EFI the 231 to make decent power.

Why not keep the Honda as a DD and buy the Regal as a project to tinker with? Something you can afford to have down for a few weeks while you do maintenance or other things that requires keeping it off the road.

I drive a beater Honda as a DD because it's super reliable and gets 43mpg. Even on it's best day my regal wont do that!
Just a thought.

I take no offense to this. I completely understand.
But the way he was hyping the car up it seemed perfect.
Then I tried coming to see it he wouldn't answered his phone or tell me where he lived.
so yeah I am just going to keep my car.
Thanks, for pulling me back down.
