    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
