Hello,

Thought I'd say hey! I wandered over here from the Buick sites. I have a 1985 Regal that may be resurected this summer. I spent last year off with no engine.

I bought my Regal in 2002. It first hit the road with a 73 SBB, 350 auto, and a 2.41 rear.

In 2003 I converted it to a 69 SBB, a stickshift conversion with a New Process A-833 OD, and a 8.5 rear with 3.42s

by 2005 I cammed the otherwise stock 69 SBB, put in my secound NP gearbox, and switched to a 3.90 gear.

By the end of 2005ish I switched to a ST-10 transmission, but unfortunatly the engine started to go away quick after repeated high revs in a street race. A 14.14 was all I could muster, and it took lotsa oil to get that far.

By fall the poor little SBB died, and was pulled.

Sooooo....I'm in the process of trying to build up a new SBB. I can't go nuts on the budget, so it may take awhile.

And that where I stand now. Greetings to all you G body owners and Have a great Holiday season!!!!!!!!

If you know the URL/address of the image you want, just use the 'Img' button on the post form, or type [ img ]url/address of image[ /img ] (but leave out the spaces in the [ img ] tags)

You can post up pictures into your gallery, just hit the big "Photo Album" link, create your gallery and follow the instructions there. Just look for the little boxes w/ '?' in them.

If your album is created, go to 'upload file' up in the top menu just below the GBF logo. Then follow the steps and upload away! Got any more questions just let me know! :D

If it says 'there are no albums you can upload into' or something like that, then your album didn't actually get created....
