I think thats what the previous owner had in it, not sure though, Im just curious, what makes you think that?

The motor mounts in your pictures look like buick mounts. My brother has a 1971 Buick skylark he races ,& I have helped him a few times with motor swaps.

Ah, I see, I never knew buick had their own mounts, I guess I learn something new everyday

Here is what I want the car to somewhat look like, I want to take the vinyl top off, take all the chrome off and get a t-type hood for it. More or less make it a T-type replica instead of a Grand National replica

Updates coming soon!

Oh. Well, they must not be too uncommon after all, I saw one just like it the other day (same colors, vinyl roof). It was the only other Regal I have seen in a long time. An older lady was driving it and it appeared to be very low mileage. Hopefully that one doesn't get modified or wrecked. I don't like modified cars too much, but if I ever found a southwestern roller like you did, I'd make a GNX look-alike out of it to be honest. T-Type trim etc. would be neat too.

Are u planning BB motor?

 

[v8power]

they are both 5.3's, except the main motor has z06 heads, z06 cam and a f-body oil pan. So more or less its a ls1 with fewer cubic inches, they will be fuel injected. These are just the motors for this year though, I plan on turning up the boost on the first one till it pops then throw the spare one in for the rest of the year. A buddy of mine that owns a motor shop is going to build me a 408 stroker motor for next year Smile

ls series.

Nice car-friend of mine had one like that and had it painted pearl white-even the vinyl top-added a GN hood, it was nice. His didn't have the rare cornering lamps though 🙂
