What kind of combo are you running?? Any more pic's??

the motors a 73 454 chevy 10.6:1 comp .598 solid lift cam , edelbrock rpm rectangular port heads , victor intake , a chuck nuytten 850 holley carb
th400 w/a ATI 8" 4200 Stall 8.5 GN rear w/4:10's ..and it's street car

i thought i hear " it's not a BBB" but i did have a BBB and that was my intentions ..but after weighting out the price difference my budget forced me to go chevy power

this motor cost me under $4000.00 ...a BBB would have cost $6500.00 to go just as fast ...sorry guy's

i have more picture on my home computer i'll post up more later .

Nice car - I don't think you are going to get too many positive comments seeing yours isn't Buick powered. I'll bet you don't get too many looks at the track untill you make a pass! What kind of combo are you running?? Any more pic's??

10.83 @ 123? Very good for a chevy.

Imagine if only you had some real torque and were 100 lbs lighter! :Brow:

What did you do for suspension?

Hey Guys,

Just chill. To each their own. A Chevy isn't my preference either, and admittedly, a 10.83 with a Buick block would be way cooler, but he's still waaay faster than my car will ever be. Guys, both of your Regals look clean! :TU:

I believe this forum's intentions are to attempt to correct GM's flaw of following both Ford's & Chrysler's way of thinking in "Corporate engines". Both the Blue Oval and the Penstar used engines that went "across the board" be it Ford, Mercury or Lincoln & Chrysler, Dodge or Plymouth. GM just had to play that game and now (and for going on several decades) has their "corporate V8 engine's" AKA...Shivvie.... :Dou: :Dou: :Dou:

GM's divisions have long lost their "individualism"...what's under the hood being THE most important thing IMHO. :blast: :boring:

sorry man i read that 5 times , i don't understand what you mean .

No offense taken, but I'll try and explain this as polite as possible. What you wrote above is the very reason why Buick guys always get ticked. 99% of the world doesn't recognize that Buick built their own engines. Hence when a Buick guy goes to the run of the mill parts store and he asks for a gasket set for a 350.....he gets a Chevy 350 gasket set. When we go out on a sunday night to the drive-in movie theater in our Skylark, the ticket girls says "Nice Chevelle!" When we go to the car cruise with our Apollo it gets judged as a Nova. Its a GM it must be the same as a Chevy. This forum is very small on an extremely small board and it is the only place in the internet universe that is dedicated to talking about V8 Buicks in a Regal. Its a small following, but the guys are very loyal to the following. Hence when we need info about Buick problems we don't want to sift through a bunch of Chevy posts, which appear here all the time.

i have to admit, my 84 went from a v6, to a 305 chevy, to a 350 chevy, to now a 455, and all though it is the most fun now, i loved the car just as much with all the other power plants. yes our whole board is dedicated to v8 buicks, but the guy has a really nice car even with the chevy it. i give him credit for owning my favorite car, thats why i own 3. long live the regal :TU:

I myself like all cars that are thoughtfully & craftully put together. The emphasis is putting on all the little details, which, in this case appears to be all of the above. Car looks to be pretty light weight looking at all the aluminum. My friend has his '66 Skylark GS that he bought new, weighs over 3100lbs. & runs, ready for this, a 401 +.030" NAILHEAD that has run, with no traction I may add, an 11.08ET @ 122MPH. 50+ less cubes, more weight, & once we get our traction issues solved will be as fast, if not faster. It can also be street driven & is legally registered to go to our local cruises with the exhaust on. Anything that can run 10's & still be street driven is an accomplishment, but do it with a NAILHEAD!!!!! Now your talkin' !!!!!!!!!!

Funny when they put a buick in a chevy its a great idea!!! :Dou: Doesnt relly make a difference whats under the hood people get on these boards for help and support not to get knocked about the choices they make thats what makes a people different. You might be suprised you could learn something from the guy.
As far as 86REGAL454 goes nice car if you ever decide to switch back to buick you will have a lot of help. dont worry bout the people hating on you or your car let them keep going most of them just mad cause that couldnt make it down the track at that speed :grin:

I agree!
But I understand RATROASTER's point also and appreciate him being so civil about it. :TU:
86regal454,the car looks good and shows that it was built right.The numbers speak for themselves and it looks like a Buick to me.Are you using stock axles?
I joined the BCA recently after struggling for a while over this same issue,I would much rather see the Regal with the 454 than going to the crusher.The BCA has a modified division where this car will be welcomed altough not allowed for judging,due to the fact that the 454 was never offered on that model.A 455 wasn't offered either but it's a Buick powerplant and the car could be judged then.Myself,I don't care about judged competitions,I do like to see cars well built with performance as the theme.I think that if we are not careful,twenty years from now we'll be lucky to see any '86 V8 powered Buick at all at the street or the strip,IMHO. Perhaps the Board could consider following the BCA's lead and have some place for these modified cars,after all,other than the powerplant,they have to find a lot of Buick specific parts like the rest of us, and this seems to be the best place for it. :beer

But..... I'd like to post a POSITIVE comment.

NIce car guy! gotta give anybody kudo's, that can pull a wheel!

Sorry for the comments in this post. most are in line, and i agree with, but what should have happened.... is this getting moved to the bench.

I just get tired of every one thinking inside the box. buicks arn't the only motor on the block. You can run a ten with a F'n festiva if you got the bucks. Who give a s&*t. I do it because I prefer buick in my buick.

somebody goes off on a rant because they couldn't spend extra money to put expensive buick rockers on the new edelborck heads. WHY... they pull ed their head out of their a$$ and did something smmart for once. the product is already out here and CHEAP. why not who's going to see. some of this just stupidity.

Thanks for posting pictures of your car. We hope to kick your but at the track with our Buicks soon :moonu:


BTW... DO the right thing and just move this thread and and dump every post but his pictures :Dou:

This thread should be moved. I am not sure where maybe to members rides or something. I like his car and respect the fact that its clean & fast. I would like it even better if he had spent the extra money to build it just as clean & fast useing a Buick 455 or even something other than another follow the herd ho hum Chevy. None the less if hes satisfied with it I'm ok with that. I also like and respect what he has done more than if it was clean & slow with stock Buick 3.8.

What I do take offence to is that he came here to our little corner of the web marked V8 Buick powered Regals on a Buick site to stick his Chevy powered Buick Regal in our face. If you want to come on here and talk Regal body pannels or suspension or whatever great you are welcome. If I went to montecarloss.com to brag about my Buick powered MCSS I would not expect a warm reception. Does this make sense to you 86Regal454?

Boy i just love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is he rubbing it in your face? This is why drag racing is falling to the waist side for many people. The guy comes on hear feeling good about his car and you knock him for his choices. He used what his money could buy!! Damn is that a crime? :af: Like i said if your cars were faster than his you would be all over him.. If it wasnt for the fact i had lots of help with my 455 i would have dumped it a long time ago. You want to know why people steer away from buicks because people tell them they need tons of stuff to go fast which isnt true. could he have built a 455 yes but he probably was told you need a $10,000 buick to go fast. I see it all tha time on here. If you dont like what you see back out tha thread you dont have to make him feel like he made a bad chioce.

Hey 86 i wa swondering if you had a chance to weigh your car to see how much it weigh?? Did you keep the stock interior in tha vehicle How streetable is tha motor ??? And if your ever in chicago dont worry that buick i got got alot more in it for that chevy of yours :TU:

Bigdawg, I think you need to re-read the post you copied.
How is he rubbing it in our faces? (So to speak) By posting it here in a Buick site in a section specifically set aside and titled for V8 Buick powered Regals. Plain and simple.

If you put your Buick 455 or Ford 460 or other in as an example a MCSS then went to a Chevy site and posted it in a section titled Chevy powered Monte Carlo SS do you think you would get a warm supportive reception or be seen as a troll? Neither did he. Looks to me like he came as a troll.

"He used what his money could buy!! Damn is that a crime" :af: Nope not at all. I don't fault him a bit for that and I never knocked his car or his choice.

At the end the day its just a hobby and I am not going to stress over it. Happy motoring. :3gears:

11-19-2006, 06:17 PM
Vern you said it best its just a hobby and every1 can do what they want!! Depending how yo look at that name of the section it may not always be so clear he may just have read it as buick powered regal wit V-8 thats how i use to see it. This is not the first or last time it will be misinterpreted. And i have been on other sites and have talked about my regal before and no one knocked my choice of motors. There is a thread going on right no in the bench section about. Having class on this board and all its says was there are better ways to say and do things than what has been going on. All im saying is if someone comes to the board they should be wlecomed and not blasted for there desicion.

This forum has been interresting to say the least and maybe something can be learned from it. It was mentioned about having a forum for modifided Buicks, why not! It is a Buick and it is GM powered and comes to a Buick site and gets bashed??? Nobody gets upset when you stick a Ford rear end under one. The Buick performace Group is letting Buicks particapate - food for thought. I also think its funny that just because of my user name I am one of those guys. I love Buicks and have had a few. I just sold my GS (SEE PIC) and working on another buick. Topher I ran a 4" glass hood but went back to the stock look, here is a pic and have a few more if interrested. Enough said - I hope everyone has a good holiday.

I like his Regal, powered by Chevy, Buick or Apollo afterburner, or as long as it's GM powered. To give him a bunch of crap just because it's got a BBC is silly. They are, after all, all of them GM's products, and it's under the thread V8 Powered Regals, I don't think we need members thinking they're sheriff Bufford T. Justice givin him a bunch of :ball: just because he's powered it differently then what they might specifically wish to see, but so what.

I guess I cross both boarders, and I'm a bad egg too boys, Stole my 71' GS's 350 and trans out to put in an 86' Regal, because I have a BBC going into my GS now, a nice "free" 454 I got, and could cheaply build so I could finally enjoy big block power in my GS.

It's so silly, aside from facia, head and tail light configuration the regal is the same car as a Cutlass, Monte, or Malibu of those years as well the GS is the same car as the 442's, Chevelles etc of those years.

I recently saw pictures on the net somewhere where a guy had put a Gran National's front end on an Elcamino, I thought that was kick A$$ Cool looking.

I love imagination and thinking outside the box too.

not sure what you mean most people ask to learn more. like i asked you how much your car weighed jus was intereted because there was another thread about lightening your car. Mr car went thru tha scale at 3775lbs wit me in it now im almost 275 but my car still is alot hevier than most of yours is. I figure if i can get down to sum of your guys weight it could be trouble for sum of you :Brow: I still have stock interior full exhaust and all steel wit the exception of the hole that i cut out of the hood to put the cowl insert. Its basically a learnig excercise that why people ask ive been thinking bout building a pump gas chevy motor jus for experimintation thats why i asked how streetable your combo is.

On a positive note...I can say you have a nice looking Regal! :) Is the 454 mostly stock? According to my Moroso slide calculator it says that with your car weighing 3388lbs and running 123mph puts you in the 475hp range. :Do No:

yea it's pretty much stock 10.6:1comp, .598 lift cam , edelbrock rpm heads ,
my calculations ..put my motor in at 638 hp at the crank and with a 22% drive train loss..so yea 492 hp at the wheels sounds about right .

Simple answer: You answered thier questions to thier satisfaction.

Folks here ask polite questions out of mild interest, don't read too much into it. Some simple advice, don't bother taking stuff you read on the boards too personally or you'll get your shorts in a twist really easily.

BTW since nobody mentioned it, most of us on the board put our first names in the Signature, make the board a little more friendly (something we occasionally screw up :puzzled: )

Sorry to have come off as an ass in my earlier post,but we all have to understand that the cost to build a BBB is extreme. If you look in the right places,you can find good used BBC race parts for cheap. I know where a set of aluminum BBC heads were for less than 800 bucks. Didn't take long to sell them. If I get a great deal on a BBC or SBC thats ready to run,I may entertain the idea of putting it in my Skylark. I can find a stroker 383 for about as much as TA heads. I am on a strict budget,so I have to do what I have to do. BTW Nice car!!!

86regal, I have nothing against your engine or your car. But why would you post it here on V8 Buick.com (emphasis on Buick engines more than Buick bodys) in a V8 Buick powered (emphasis on Buick engines) regal section other than to see if you can get a rise out of someone?

This section was set up specifically for Buick V8 powered regals. What is not to understand? The internet is full of sites that were set up to talk about cars like yours.











PS Kinda looks like a belly button to me but at least its clean fast and not a another sbc. Enjoy your car you will finds lots of people who will geek all over it. Most of us here are here to see cars like Kerrys where the owner has decided to go the extra mile to make it clean fast and Buick powered.

I completely understand the premise of the V8 Buick-Powered Regals section, but perhaps -- if I may -- it's like this for Dickie: he's just a proud owner, and wants to show his car off. 10.83 is nothing to sneeze at, and it's a clean car, too.

Kinda like that one TLC "Life Lessons" commercial, where the guy shows a pic of his newborn baby to the guy standing beside him at the next urinal.

I can find a stroker 383 for about as much as TA heads.

It's true... there was a 383 shortblock for sale in the local classifieds back in the summer for $300. Used or fresh, I don't remember, but that's a sweet deal. And no, it wasn't an old, crusty Mopar block.

I still don't know how to post pictures,but the '64 just came back from Cecil in Mariland and ran a 9.12 145.5 MPH.Most cars in my class have custom made Cone conv,I have a Jegs off the shelf Ati conv.,also TA 2inch headers that cost $300.00 as to other cars having over $1000.00 in custom headers.I don't even have an evacuator valve.Got to save some $ to get some of this stuff.BrunoD.

regal section other than to see if you can get a rise out of someone? xx

I'd say it worked !!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

By the way BignastyGS, I laughed and agree'd with your earlier comments too, nothing to apologise for, your goal was to display welcoming regards to Regal454, after a couple of these boobs couldn't seem too, it's still cool, It's still a commonality in him having a Regal, it must be aweful to have such boredom in your life that you have to sidewalk security the topics in forums.
