Depends, can you fabricate, weld, ect...? If so labor your is cheap. The balance is the cost of the parts.

I might know something about this..
Burton Machine makes a kit that includes about 70% of what you need. Will it fit on a regal?? Don't know. Here's what it looks like on a Skylark..
There are several of us on the V8buick site that would love to see you tackle this project
Cost.. Kit 2K plus shipping. Blow through carb 650. Fuel system 800-1000. additional crap 1000 or more.. Downpipes will be an issue if you don't have good friends..

I have a Wrenchrat Kit sitting on my shelfs right now for a future TT SBC project . Very nice design , made from 321 SS , very compact . will basicly fit into anything that you can put a SBC into . steve the owner of Wrenchrat is a great guy to deal with . It's a twin turbo kit but I guess it could be modded to a single if need be .
The wrenchrat kit is a nice little package . even comes with gaskets , fittings , downpipes , modded alt braket , etc . Made from 321 SS and it's nicely put together and the quality is there . It's VERY well thought out setup . it was designed around a 67"-68' sub-frame . so it will fit in basiclly any chevy , and then some . I didn't want to go thru the hassle of doing my own headers , and this fit the bill perfectly . I didn't know what to expect , but was pleasantly surprised when it showed up on my door step . Here's a couple pics of it installed on a 67 Chevelle (Blow Thru stup/ni IC ).

Check out the newest issue of the april Car Craft about to hit the streets. Big article on the WrenchRat system bolted to a production block 355 SBC. Not gonna ruin the article for you guys but ill give you a hint. More than 850 whp non intercooled. Check it out!
trbo355/Steve is that you ?
Ha ha no its his buddy Marty Stromberger. Just throwing out a quick sales pitch to help him out!
Marty are you the owner of the Chevelle with the wrenchrat kit or had a hand in building it ?I own the blue Chevelle in the Wrenchrat video and built most of the silver 67 chevelle with steves kit thats in this thread. I didnt help steve too much except a few suggestions as he did the design layout.
I had a better idea of common problem areas (from building cars working for my dad Tim) that crop up between various makes of chevy products than steve did so i made sure those details werent overlooked. Between Steve and I, its a hell of a good designed kit thats had a lot of thinking put into it!
The latest design on the headers even clears the pesky upper control arm on 70-81 camaros that pretty much ruined fitment of his kit. Thats a BIG market to miss out on so he redesigned the front 2 primary tubes to clear perfectly. Do you know Steve personally or.....actually, who the hell am i talking to anyways? LOL

I know Steve from the purchase of one of the Wrenchrat Kits . I think I have the only one in Canada as far as I know . When was the new design released for the 70-81 Camaros . I was told if you changed out the stock upper control arm to a tubular design in the 70-81 Camaros it would work as well ?
Yep i think a tubular upper is mandatory to work and the new design sweeps the cyl 1 and 2 primaries back at a 45 degree angle as soon as possible to clear the damn A arm that sticks up more than typical SBC engine compartments. That was the only car i could see a big problem with. Steve says a customer recently fit the kit into a 2nd gen Camaro and it DID work.

Whats your name? Ill call him for ya and see whats up. Business really took off after the Car Craft article and i think he is a bit overwhelmed getting up to speed. I assure you he's a good guy and things will get straightened out soon.
(edit) Are you Ron? I guess you guys talked and have things squared away. Sounds like he has been selling so many kits he ran low on inventory and has been hustling to keep up!
