If I dont find another 70 or 71 GS as a project car for restoration I may end up buying an 87 regal, and dropping a stage one 455 engine in it. If I do this I will buy a GN hood to go on the car and paint it exactly like the GN. Black bumpers, grille and everything. Also instead of the standard 3.8 liter turbo emblem that is on the side of the raised area of the GN hood I will order the stage one emblem to go on there (if it will fit). Im thinking that I will have to modify the front end to handle the added weight of a 455. I have a shifter and console from a GS that I might put in the regal also. Maybe make it a combination of GS and GN. Im open for suggestions and Ive got my eye on a good regal thats for sale.
Scroll up to the members rides page, and click on the 1973 and newer thread. One of the first cars you will see will be my '81 Regal with the 455 with stage 1 heads. I have a T-type doghouse, black fiberglass bumpers, and stage1/455 emblems on it! But it is Midnight Blue Metallic, there are a lot of different ways to go with these cars!
