Reviving my Regal

Hi everyone.
My current Buick is a 1984 Regal Limited (or at least the badge on the side says it is). It was in pretty poor shape when I bought it - engine needed a rebuild, carb needed a rebuild, its last paint job appeared to have been done with a roller :shock:
In the last year or so I've rebuilt the engine (standard 231 V6), the carburetor, replaced the cat and cat-back, got a cheap Maaco sand-and-spray done, and got the interior reupholstered.

I'm in California now, but I hope that changes in about 3-4 years so I can do something about the engine. For now, I'm just trying to get it into good condition.

I'm mostly considering putting the ubiquitous Chevy 350 small block on it. Mainly because they're everywhere, they're still being manufactured, I know it will fit without use of a torch, and there are countless aftermarket performance parts for it.
