What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
Hey Kevin thanks for welcoming me to the board. Wade's car was definitely running well. I did run a 7.84 on that TNT in Memphis, then ran a 7.96 in the semi's. I had a lifter going away and heard it on the return road, but they ran us again immediately. I took a shot and lost. That lifter...- forcefed88

What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
Yep, still in KC. I didn't run at the FFW. I don't remember why though. I ran there several times when they had a drag radial race. I ran at 2 of the NMRA races at KCIR. It was in Dec '06 of Hot Rod. It was in the drag radial shootout even coverage. I understand your reasoning behind...- forcefed88

What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
Man guys, I really appreciate the advice, input and welcoming me to your site. I hate being the new guy asking questions that are obvious to probably everyone on here, but hey I have to start somewhere. I didn't even think about the buick engine so it would fit in Buick events. I really got...- forcefed88

What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
I know that I won't be the first or only guy with a LSX in a GN or clone, but it is what I thinking about doing. I was sitting at Thanksgiving dinner with my family thinking about how I used to be so involved with racing and building stuff and now I just work. So I starting thinking that I...- forcefed88

What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
That might be a good route to go. I know nothing about the Buick 455's. My father is a huge pontiac guy. I built a 455 for one of his GTO's. I will have to do some research on heads and blocks. You're right about not cutting up a TR for what I want to do. It will definitely have a full...- forcefed88

What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
I just got done typing a response and then read yours. I understand your anti chevy stand. You feel like the cars should be left what they are. Turbo Buicks right? Ok, on the trim. I looked at what pics I could find of std regals. Some have chrome trim that is around the quarter glass...- forcefed88

Thanks for the input on the differences. Are the chrome window trim pieces difficult to paint? So a LS1 with an 88mm in a GN clone would be a bad idea in your opinion??? Why do you think a SBC in a GN clone is a bad idea? You would get a much quicker and reliable car for less money...- forcefed88

What parts are needed to build a GN clone?
Hey guys. I am new to this forum and have some questions that you guys will be able to answer. I spent half of yesterday and today looking at all of the exterior differences between GN's and regals. I sold my 7 sec turbo drag radial mustang 2 years ago, and want to build a street car now...- forcefed88
