    location

    where are you at in NW iowa? how close are you to sioux falls?

    You should make the trip down to Marion some time and watch the races. we need more people on buick corner. It's about 35miles from sioux falls.

    There about 7 of us with buicks that race out there. another would be a welcome sight.

    Thanks

    I'm outside Milford, about 1 1/2 hrs from Sioux Falls.
    Just a short history on the car, it has the 231 V6, tranny has been replaced before I got it with a TH350 out of ??? and 129,000 miles. Saved it from being a roundy round car, needing body work but has a clean straight frame.
    Still needs a header panel and front bumper due to an accident before I got the car.
    I've been to Marion a couple of times when I am in Sioux Falls overnight, never raced though.
    I got a 74 455 and TH400 free in a 74 225 freshened that up with new pistons, rings bearings, Comp cam, Edelbrock intake and Poston headers, that is going in the Regal.

    i race every weekend they are open. My car is consistant i just have a lot of operator problems :laugh: My dad ran a 79 regal with the 455. Thats is the body style i wanted to do but when i found the 83 laying around i went for it. I'm close enought when your ready to do the engine swap and need another pair of hands let me know.

    Thanks
