V6 to V8 1984 regal

[Moreno84]

Was wondering If anyone had any advice on putting a sbc 350 into a 1984 regal. What modifications do I have to do. Can I just get a fully dressed ready to go engine to drop in there. Seen some at Summit racing .com

A 350 Buick motor will drop right in with the least amount of modifications. A 350 Chevy will need different motor mounts.

They're only in what is now old school. Late '70's back to late '60's.

The last cars that came with a buick 350 ended about 1981. Buick riviera, full size cars like lesabre, etc.

You can get a drop in ready to run SBC engine of your choice of power levels and they come with a warranty, you will have to change the frame mounts but they are not hard to do.
I swapped out the oil burning 307 in my 86' Regal and built a 355 SBC for it,

You likely have a buick/olds/pontiac non-overdrive transmission (TH200). Chevy uses a different block pattern - you'll also need to go transmission shopping...

You can also use a trans adapter to mount the Buick trans to a SBC.
