Nice Regal. The 307 Olds Y engine in these also have a roller cam. If the intake manifold gasket ever needs to be replaced need to get the correct gasket. From memory (you know how good that can be!), the Fel-Pro gasket works, while the Victor Reinz gasket hits the retaining bolts for the lifter spider.
These engines have so much torque that some have a 2.14 rear ratio. And they are smooth.

Thanks for the compliment......I didn't know this information about the engine, so I sure will pass this fact on to him........yeah, the engine is smooth, didn't know about the torque. Glad you made me aware of this....interesting........maybe I should buy it from him if he decides to get rid of it....I would love it as a daily driver, plus it looks like a Turbo Regal.
"Memory?" What's that?
