My soon to be Daily driver....

I would have to update it to a correct '87 grill and header....

Yep, that's an '81 or so header clip on the front of that car. Nothing wrong with that, but if it's an '87, I'd put the correct header panel on it as well.

I like the 3800 series motors just fine (we owned a 2000 Regal GS that I loved dearly), but I'd never put one in a full size 80's Regal.

Just wouldn't do it......but that's just me.

Good luck with the build, I'm sure it will turn out very nice.
