    Could I fit a 403 in a Regal? It currently has a 3.8L 231 in it, but I'm looking for something with a little more pep to it. If so would it be hard and would I spend a good amount of money making the switch.:Do No:

    403 (olds motor)

    Yes the 403 is a small block olds motor like its brother the 307 that was optional in your regal. You will have to change the motor mounts. All the engine accesories are different.

    A more buick friendly swap would be a 350 buick engine. The 350 will use the same enigne mount locations as the 3.8 and many of the engine accessoryies too. This would be a cheaper way to go as far as the swap cost go. You will need to modifiy the exhaust, but you probably want to run duals anyway.
