'85 regal I bought for 1400 off the 2nd owner when i was 15 in 2014. Drove it home from Pella, IA to DSM. Had 84k on it and was 100% stock. Just turned 94,500 today and is not %100 stock. The ac (warm), cruise, power antenna, power driver's seat, etc. all worked. 231 exploded in november of 2014, took me 2 years working a sh*t job at kmart to get enough money to build a Buick 350. That one sploded too (assembly error, after it was corrected it ran for 5500 trouble free miles), and is now on engine #3, 350 #2. And it's 4th transmission, 3rd TH350. Engine now is a '70 SP Buick 350 with ~300hp (stock was 315 gross hp, has a cam in it now so it should be better than 300 at least) 315hp/410ftlb 10.25:1 engine. Has a crower level 3 cam, 800cfm qjet, 1/2" carb spacer. With 2.41s, 195/75 tires, 1200 stall and brakes the thing will push through, it does the 1/8th in 10.3 @ 75mph. 60foot time is *ss at 2 seconds. i blame the gear. I have a GN rear sitting in my garage awaiting me to by a new tc and d/s to make it worth putting in.
Day I got it:
1st 350, halfway though install:
Regal as it is now:
350 #2 with 231 accessory drive.
