Turbo LS Powered Regal

[GBodyGMachine]

This is my personal vehicle.
I have owned the car for about 3 years now.
Last night I started mocking up the LS block and heads in the car.
I'll post some more details later, but here are some pics.

Enjoy,
Jeff

What I started with




After Suspension Work Was Completed

Cool. What are your power goals?

Looks good, I haven't seen a pic of the car in primer after body work. What wheels are those?

BSA Rock Crushers I believe is what they were called.

I want to make 1000HP one time, then roll around with 700-800.

Should be no problem

Oh look, Engine Mounts.

Nice work, looks like a few Mustangs in that 1 picture. I could use a Turbo Ls engine in my 4 door Nova. It would be a great sleeper. Keep up the good work .

No way. I work on them all day at work. To expensive to build and un reliable.

Hell Yeah looking good! Those engine mounts look stout!

Am wondering, (assuming that your using fuel injection) whether the solid mount will wreck havoc on your knock sensor? And start pulling timing back limiting your power out put. Especially on bumpy roads. Have you given that any thought?

I will be running a blow through carb.
But you can always tune around the knock sensors. Just need to be sure that you tune is spot on, and you keep good gas in it if you are not using them.

Right.... the 109 will hold that kind of power level for like 1/2 of a pass and then disintegrate. The stage motors like to crack and are tough to find parts for. The TA motors are expensive as hell and not friendly on the street. Which 1000hp ones do you know of?

[mjdwyer23]

BTW I like the can of natty, just don't dump it in your radiator.
