sleeper project

[chops]

Just picked up a 87 rehal non turbo with a vinyl top bench seats good condition for 800 bucks :tongue: I have a spare 109 block I need your advice on this combo freshen up the block wi th a roller cam and forged crank stock rods and pistons / 2. Port stock heads alky 72 pnd inj stage 2 trans 3800 stal to help the turbo on the street and the other normal crap that goes with the set up am figuring a 10.70 vinyl top regal with a fade black paint job keep the 15inch steel wheels with the spoke hub caps and a 275 drag radial

Sounds like FUN. I've built one just like that before. Heck, My twin turbo car has a Landau vinyl top, too. No one expects a car that looks like that to be fast.

Only critic would be to add K1 rods, too. The stock rods bend at high power levels.

I think he was just saying (like many of us) that we would like to see the starting point of your project. It sounds like you got a great deal on the regal. Good luck with the project.

Internet lingo can be very deceiving at times

Wow that'll kill a thread in a hurry.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm up above. Also pretty sure he doesn't qualify as a kid anymore.

Lighten up. We just want to see the sleeper-to-be.

Oh what the hell, while i'm here.........

 

[chops]

Lmao !!!!!! I needed that laugh its been a ruff 3weeks half my house caught on fire but that pic put a smile on my face

 

[INEEDAGN]

......But seriously, it sounds like a great idea. BUT there's quite a few little bitty piddly parts to go onto an LC2 conversion. I'm currently planning a swap into a wagon, and the small stuff is gonna eat me alive, for this reason I think i'm going to buy a wrecked or rotted LC2 car to get the nickel and dime stuff. You can't go wrong with a solid car for that price though!

Maybe you have heard the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." It isn't like I asked you for a detailed thousand word description that you had to type out.

Lighten up this is suppose to be fun. And I'll try to grow up.:biggrin: Oh, and no disrespect intended to you or your thread. I guess curiosity killed the cat on this one. And with as poor an attitude as you are laying down I'm not sure I want to know you.

Maybe we can start over. Hey, My name is Rich, I have had a Regal or two. What, may I ask, do you plan to do with your car? Track only, street only, just a cruiser, street/strip? Do you want to run pump gas, alky, race fuel?

 

[chops]

No prob rich its just been a ruff 2 weeks for me and my family and I find this forum to be my get away so I apologize for the way I responded to your post :smile: as for the car I do plan to run alky am now lookin to do a stroker set up but I was told from a vendor that stroker cranks are not available no more he said if I want a billet crank $2700 wowso am still searching any ideas?

 

[TexasT]

I would see if any of the other vendors have or know where to source one. May have to search up a used one. I have the desire for a 4.1, you might look into something like that. I am stuck at the pistons. I want forged, my budget is still telling me no. So I keep saving up.

 

[chops]

I know what you mean rich am online now searrching and making a list am going to call xottons pref Monday and see what he tells me if anything ill just go all forged which ever way I look at it its a lot stronger than stock with a piece of mind

 

[696]

Heck; I'll throw it out there just for fun as well, don't get to use it very often :biggrin:

Uh-oh you opened a can of worms on a forum full of smartasses that think v6's are fast.:biggrin:
