Yea im just gonna use stock or short valve covers which ever is cheaper. Its just gonna be my everyday driver so its not gonna be too crazy. Goal is to make 400+ rwhp on 87 octane. Im gonna get crazy with it later on but for now its just gonna be a driver. My current driver became too much...
Can you swap a big block chevy in and still retain power steering and A/C?
Ill probably have to bug you more in a few weeks. Im picking up the car this weekend but wont have time to do any of the swap until next month.
I want to convert a 87 3.8 non turbo Regal to a BBC 454 with 2004R. Ive got most of the engine parts for a 454 and a 2004R so I figured I would swap them in.
Im trying to find some info about doing a motor swap in a 87 Regal 3.8 non turbo. I would like to convert it over to a 2004R and either a SBC or BBC. Anybody know of any boards that would have info about stuff like that? Ive looked on here but this board seems to only cover turbo Buicks.
What are the differences in the 3.8 liter non turbo engine and the 3.8 liter turbo engine in a 87 Regal? Does the turbo have lower compression because of larger combustion chambers or dished pistons? Anybody converted a non turbo 3.8 to a turbo 3.8?
