My 1985 Regal This is my 85 Regal. Mods are in the sig but there are a few more than listed. Currently it has a 4bolt 350 in it. Im not sure if im going to mod up the 350 anymore or drop in a Turbo Regal powerplant.
Gotta love em! Nice car.

im kinda thinking in that direction....but id basically need a whole donor car...which is the one thing keeping me from doing it...
turbo ls1 would be sweet but again money is an issue. For now im gonna keep the 350 as its my DD until i can get my SHO on the road.

That engine is awesome... if I had a buick that would be its powerplant and I would be one fast mo fo 
There was a recent article in one of the last couple issues GMHTP about a guy who swapped one into a 93 formula and ran 20lbs. of boost to run consistently around 10.2's and the car is amazingly close to stock for a 93 bird. Even has the 16" wheels, stock driveshaft, rear end, suspension.... BAD ***

Very nice, GNX style. You could mod the 350 and make decent power, but with the Turbo GN engine you will get the same power with better fuel economy and better drivability.
