Hello my name is Beau and I am an 18 year old college student and this is my ride. This is a 1982 buick regal. I bought this car when I was 14 for 800 dollars. When we bought the car it had the wrong front end so we had to find an 82 clip for it. After putting the correct front end on we sent the car to get painted its original color. We then lifted the car 2 inches. After we got the car all assembled my brother gave me a set of buick rallye wheels for free. The regal originally came with a whimpy little 3.8 liter V6. I then bought a 350 sbc and a 350 turbo tranny to put in the car.
this is the new power plant going in
After the new motor and transmission were put in we found out that the tranny needed to be rebuilt and there were a couple of lifters stuck. So i bought a comp cams extreme energy cam and lifter kit and we pulled the motor and tranny and started tearing apart.
This is right after the new cam was installed
Since the motor was out for the second time in a month i figured i would do some cleaning under the hood and this is what it looked like before.
after new cam and some cleaning
these are after i got the motor back in and running smooth
This is a 350 out of an old cop car. The motor has an edelbrock torker intake, comp cams extreme energy cam, and a holley 670 4bbl carb. It also has hooker full length hedders. Other than that the motor is completely stock.
In the near future I will be putting a new rearend with 373s and a posi. I would also like to get a set of Torq Thrust II's. Sometime along the road i would also like to replace the 350 with a 450 horse 383 stroker.
