    I Bought A Darrell Waltrip Tribute Stock Car - Let's Build It Better!

    This is a street legal 1981 Buick Regal NASCAR Stock Car Tribute.
    Fully loaded and ready to rock - but I think we can make it better and YOU CAN WIN THIS CAR!

    Would you have a big honkin 455 or would you have a screaming Turbo V6 in there. Or would you have a 350 spinning to 8 grand, gsjohnny says it can handle it :eek::D

    I’m sure Derek is going LS, BUT I’d do a 350 Buick, the turbo you KNOW will be quick, same with the 455, but a screaming 350 would be awesome.
    What would be cooler is a high comp. Buick V6 aluminum turbo heads, headers, roller cam, etc.

    No need to watch the video, just check my screenshot and the advertisement from Streetside:
    It's the same floor.

    Well I agree but you wouldnt had either in a 81. Id rather have a healthy sbc over a gutless 307 olds is what im getting at. I wouldnt jerk the sbc out of this car since it already has it. Now if I had one and it had the 307 or the na v6 I would def swap in a sbb.

    The 307 Olds, while a good smooth runner, is a turd, lololol

    Many people (initially, including me) wondered why Fox gave Darrell a '56 Buick ragtop as a retirement present. I later found that 'ole DW owns a Buick dealership.

    Derek mentions in the video that the Regal came with a 350 Chevrolet engine (casting #3970014) and 305 heads when he bought it.
