    well I got a 350 4V out of a 70 Le Sabre to put in my 84 regal.

    Many questions I would greatly appreiciate any insight on...

    *What should I do for front suspension(motor mounts, shocks, springs, etc)? Can I use the V6 stuff?
    *Can I use the Le sabre's radiator and shroud?
    *How can I use my stock 84 regal air with this motor

    Thanks a ton,
    Dan

    What happened with the big block? Yes everything from the V6 will bolt up on the 350.

    What shocks and springs? (350 SBB 84 Regal)

    Dan or anyone else with an SBB'd Regal,

    I'm at the point where I have to order shocks and springs and could use some advice. I'd like a firm ride droped an inch give or take...

    The SBB weighs 450lbs
    75lbs more than the 3.8
    125lbs less than an SBC
    Only 25lbs more than a cheby 3.8 hmmmm

    Although $200+ springs are cool, I'm REALLY into "$50 a pair" Moog's due to budget constraints. Cheap is good!

    Thanks,
    Dan

    I'm running V-8 Olds Cutlass/Regal springs with about 3/4 coil cut off. Sits about stock height. Handles well.

    alec296 i need another buick

    sbb regal

    i would suggest using turbo buick poly mounts as the v6 mount are mushy
    and give alot.
    and i would cut a coil to a set of strong moogs.
    most everything from the v6 should work. almost
    self explanitory for a v6 to 350 swap
