Gentlemen,
I am currently half way finished with my second Buick 455 Regal.
This Regal is already in a GARAGE, as my 1st 455Regal was stolen a few years back. D&S Performance in NJ is building me a 450 horsepower .030-Buick 455. I paid $400 for the '87 T-Special (non-turbo Olds 307) with digital dash, GN steering wheel, factory floor shifter, 7.5/8-limited slip rear w/308's, and the aluminum turbo Regal 15" rims. The TH200-4R 4-speed automatic tranny will be replaced with a "built TH400." I purchased a '90 Caprice with the GN rear with 3.42's out back, which has to be modified due to shock mount location being in front of the axles, not in back as for g-body Regal use. The Caprice cost me $200 and I get to keep the heavy-duty radiator and aux-tranny cooler and other parts for use as spare or Regal use. I am also currently in the middle of a Patent for "Custom Cold-Air Systems" for Buick Regal 455 equipped cars (or anything with a carb or TBFuel).
I am "serious" with THIS 455Regal (Scotty at Pee-Gee's at the time built my motor), as I would appreciate any advice/mods with this project.
Thanks for the time.
