PROJECT REGAL FOR SALE:

This 1984 Buick Regal was stolen, stripped then recovered. The trunk identification sticker shows it to be a WH-1. Everything was stripped down to the floorboards. By the codes it shows the paint and interior to be black on black. We decided to make a race car out of it since it was so far gone. The rear frame section was cut out and the Morrison rear half installed. The rear end is a narrowed 9” with a Strangecenter section. Moser 35 spline axles were used along with a gear ratio of 4:56. QA1 coil overs provide the shock and spring for the back half of the car.

The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a manual reverse valve body. The stall converter is 3800 since we decided to make it into a Pro-Street. The interior has a custom built dash (since the other one was cut out) with Autometer gauges and Tachometer. The seats are Recaro. Full roll cage was also installed to help stiffen the chassis. The front suspension is all stock down to the factory rotors and steering linkage.

A Wilwoodtwin master cylinder is used. The rear axle brakes are also discs by Wilwood. There is an aluminum fuel cell that was custom made to hold 20 gallons of fuel. We also brought back the power windows and door locks.

The engine is a BBC with a displacement of 468 cubic inches. The block is a Gen V 4 bolt with a 2 piece rear main seal. The crankshaft is a Scat. Connecting rods are the H-beam style with ARP fasteners. The compression ratio is 13.5-1. The cylinder heads are Merlin 111 with 2.30 intake and 1.90 exhaust. The camshaft is a Comp Cams mechanical roller with .740 lift. The rocker arms are also Comp Cams. A stud girdle was also used. Intake is a WeiandTeam G and modified 1050 CFM Dominator. Ignition is MSD distributor and MSD 6A with rev limiter. 3000 CFM electric fan is used for cooling along with a custom built 4 core radiator. Lights and turn signals all work. The steering column is a non-tilt out of a mid 70’S Camaro. This car has been on the street and the videos can be seen at YOUTUBE under user name gofast40972.
