  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Do any of you have any suggestions as to what I should start with? I can't decide if I want to do the body work it needs first or focus more on performance.

    And I think I've decided that I want to make a GN clone out of it. All blacked out but leaving the burgundy interior 'cause I like it.

    There are a couple of turbo-specific shops in Joisey ... hook up with Artie and he'll steer you right. One thing about that olds 305 - it gets decent gas mileage and is pretty reliable.

    There are several forums dedicated to the Regals (mostly Turbo oriented, but you'll get help)

    www.TurboBuicks.com
    www.GNTTYPE.org
    www.turbobuick.com (no "S")

    on the last site is a section called "Hybrids" which is non-regals with turbo engine swaps.

    There's ALOT of differences between a non-turbo regal and a turbo one so its quite a bit more than slam-dunking an engine into it, but, all things are possible with $$$ and time
