I think I would be more worried about fitting 10's up front. Obviously he is going to have to do some sort of tubbing, unless he severly flares the 1/4's.

Just my thoughts,

My favorite Gbody body style. I gotta get another some day. That's gonna be a great car! Hopefully you don't have to deal with the smog police.

With a Gbody frame notch and a mini tub, you can fit a 14" tire.

10's up front will be a problem. Not sure how that will work yet.

Hey congrats on the new project. Glad to see more and more regals/g-body's being built. Once my daughter is born and my money catches back up i'll try to get another one to build myself.

Good Luck

You have to go bigger than a 383, The other day I dragged my buddies 383 monte carlo with my ragged out 156K 93 taurus SHO and I kicked his ass. He has these crappy highway gears the kept him from using his power but you will want more quickly.

Is that a T-type turbo V6? It will make much more power than a 383 UNLESS you add boost the to 383:D

my 383 puts out close to 500 ft lbs of torque with a honest 400 hp (500 on the bottle) can your taurus beat that? if it wasnt for the gas milage it would be compleetly daily driver friendly

I have a Taurus SHO and a 383 Stroker. NO COMPARISON.
Just thought i would say.
