The chevys an easy swap but why put a chevy in a Buick. V8 Buicks make sick power, plus its cool. The big block is a little more complicated but not bad. Either way, I would keep it Buick powered...

Nice job. I'm especially impressed to see that the AC is mounted and appears to be working.

Did you use factory V6 brackets for the alternator and AC?

check your transmission to see if it is chev only or dual chev/BOP pattern I assume it is a th350 and probably won't, unless you have an overdrive then you probably will have dual pattern - and yes I think you are crazy putting a BBC in a Regal. :D

I have a 400 trans that came with the BBC.
