I'm in Northern VA and I probably wouldn't be of much help to you, but Redshotair is somewhere around VA Beach and he is a Buick tweaker. Send him a PM or give him a call.

Issue is I have 0 knowledge of american cars, would like o do something with what I have, but am clueless as to where to look to see possibilities, or get information. What I do know is I am leaking oil from I hope only the valve cover, and I have a tranny to swap out. Other than that.. Let me know if you can suggest anything or check out my link and see what you can come up with...???? thanks, MikeSteve V said:

Looks like you have the cosmetics covered. What are your performance goals? When I was a teenager(10 yrs ago). I had an 81 3.8 Regal that I put a 4 barrell P&P heads cam headers,stall. I was a really nice car. But not as fast as any Turbo buick so I made it my daily driver and bought a GN. If you want any performance,you need to yank all the emissons stuff. Put on a 4 barrell(holley 390),headers,cam etc. Then you are still stuck with the TH200C or TH 350C trans(hope it's a 350 cause 200 is a POS) and a 2.41 rear end. lots of potential just a lot of time and $$$,or drop in a 350.

Really I dont know what possibilities are for this car.. never owned an american car..always wanted a Regal, but only ever driven 4bangers.... Like I said not looking to race.. just want some ass under the hood....
Steve, really right now the basic problems I am having is an oil leak from what I am hoping is only the valve cover on passanger side and I need the tranny I just got swapped in the one that is in there now has no third gear.... lots of people I know say they can do it, but arent really giving me the time and place to get it done with them..... at this point I am willing to take it to a shop and get it done if I cant get someone to work with me so I can learn something along the way of getting it done.... any shop reccomendations near here..(va beach)?.. thanks for any helpSteve V said:Looks like you have the cosmetics covered.

Shops don't tipically let customers get in and learn or even watch.......if you want a good tranny shop 498-0133 Automatic Specialties,tell them Steve Vaillancourt sent you. I used to work there,very honest and build a good product. They aren't the most expensive or the cheapest. They stand behind their work.
