Default 1987 buick regal turbo ls1 swap help please.

Well iv been all over the place searching and im running out of time, I need to start ordering parts really soon. I made myself a dead line for spring this year. now even though im sure the info is out there somewhere but the search option isn't pulling it up. im problebly just entering the wrong words to search.

but anyways my plans are to do either a 5.3l or 6.0l with either a th400 or a 4l80e. ideally im going to do a 6.ol lq4 with a 4l80e. and to spice things up im going to run a minimum of a 70mm turbo.

I would like to use the set back mount but havnt found any part number or info on what works part work the best then I need to find a trans cross member for either transmission.

dose anyone know what turbo headers are out the for this swap or what manifolds work.

im going to pick this car up in about 1 week. and bring it home.

everything else I have handled as I am a very seasoned mechanic.

I know this subject has probley been beaten to death and im sorry for starting another topic on it. but like I was saying time is short as I start heavy chemo this summer and would like to have it together before I end up sick all the time. this is just a toy for the family and I to get out and enjoy while im down. thanks in advance for any help or info.

here are some pics of the car.

Lots of info here..........

http://turbobuick.com/forums/forums/lsx-tech.182/
Also a V8 forum there.
Also, there's a G body thread on LS1.. Last I looked, there were near 1000 posts on it. I'm sure you will find help, there.

I had a set of those mts. Ended up cutting them up and making my own poly mt system.
