    Fuel filter fitting type?

    Hello everyone. I'm in the process of converting the 455 in my '87 over to EFI and was trying to find out what type of fuel line fitting the stock Turbo Regal/GN's used at the filter? I bought a replacement fuel filter for an '87 Turbo Regal at the parts store to use while bending up new fuel...

    Fuel pump size questions...

    Hello everyone, This question doesn't really purtain to a Buick but it does involve Buick parts. What I have is an '87 Olds Cutlass that I am currently in the midst of doing a frame-off resto on. It has a 455cid Olds engine that I've converted over to EFI and a stock Buick GN tank with the...

    I'm building an '87....Olds....<looks around while ducking> :) and will be running a 425cid big block using either a slightly modified Buick gas tank or combination of a Buick/Olds gas tank with a Walbro 340 pump. I guess the question I have is, are you guys that are in the 500-600HP...

    Wheel/tire combo for front

    I will be running 17x11" wheels out back with 335/35 tires and I need a wheel tire combo in the front to balance out the look. I want to run a 275/40 front tire but the smallest width wheel these are recommended for are 9" wide. The wheels I am running (American Racing Hopsters) don't come...

    LS1 rear brake swap

    Planning on doing this soon and was curious how much (if any) the rear discs change the track width? As in, do they move the wheels in or out compared to the stock drums? Thanks,

    UB Machine control arms???

    I have done a search on this subject and have found a few threads but none seem to go anywhere as far as what part numbers needed unless your wanting a stock replacement. Does UB make an upper control arm that will work with the B-Body spindle swap? If so, what part numbers do I need and...

    Widest wheels in Rear

    Hypothetical question, If the frame wasn't in the way of the wheel/tire, how wide of a wheel could you run before running into the lower control arms in the rear? I will have the frame out from under the car soon and we plan to notch the frame the complete width of the frame and reweld...

    B-pillar trim painting?

    Just wanted to ask the experts out there. I have an '87 Olds Cutlass Supreme that I am currently restifying and I'm blacking out all of the chrome trim around the windows and such. My question is on the chrome trim that runs up the B-Pillar just behind the window. For the GN's and Regals...

    Wheel/tire sizes for front

    My friend and I are working on the body and paint right now for my '87 Olds and in the process, we're notching the frame in the rear 1". The plan is to fit a pair of 18x10's or 10.5's with 295/35ZR18 tires. That seems to be fairly straight forward. My question is the what size to run in...

    Turbo for 455+ cubes

    This isn't exactly Buick related but figured I would ask the turbo experts from the GM G-body line about this. LOL I'm looking into the very early stages of putting together a plan for adding a turbo to the 455 Olds engine I have in my '87 Cutlass. My question is what size turbo would be...

    How big with frame notch??

    I'm doing a frame notch on my '87 Cutlass along with widening the inner wheel wells and was just curious on what size wheels and tires others are running? I think we are going to notch it 1" but that will depend on how thick the frame rails are in that area. But I believe from what I've read...

    Door speaker pods

    Was there someone on here that was making a door speaker pod that would house a 5-1/4" component speaker and tweeters? If so, who? :) I'd like to find out what a pair would cost. Thanks for the help!

    IMM Auto Specialties

    Are they still in business? The website address I have doesn't work for them anymore. Do they have a new website? I was just curious as I'll be starting my trunk speaker box and will probably use their trunk upholstery kit to finish everything off. Thanks

    Frame notching how-to questions

    Okay, I have an '87 Olds Cutlass Supreme that I am currently getting ready for body work. I have bought a set of GNX fender flares for it but after getting them realized how they mount and that they might not give me the clearance I want. They still look cool and I plan on keeping them but...

    Speaker box building tips/tricks?

    I'm planning a layout for the trunk of my '87 Olds Cutlass and was curious if anyone had any tips/tricks on designing not only the trunk layout but the speaker box also. I haven't quite decided what size subs I'll be running but they will either be 8" or 10". I don't want huge amounts of bass...
