    andy:
    the carb is non computer
    I think JEG's has non computer Distributers for about 100bucks.

    and I just don't know about that 200R4 tranny, will I have to cut my driveshaft or anything? and what about motor mounts for the 307?
    I would like the better fuel economy w/the 4spd, but, I just have a feeling that the 350THM would work better w/the gears I have, the way
    the 3.8 ran, the RPM's were nice.

    anyways...
    what else? lol

    alec296 i need another buick

    you wont have to cut the driveshaft but you will need to modify you trans crossmember or get one from a 84-88 monte/cutlass/regal or other g body and/or wagons with a 200 4r as it has a differnt mount on trans.i have used the stock one but you might net get 4 bolts in to crossmember
    i have ran it like that tho . it does sit on top of frame so it wont go anywhere.
    if you get the right dist it should rum pretty good then.
    also i think the pipe to catalitic convertor is almost in the same location from 3.8 to 307 so you might be able to use your exhuast right away with a little effort.

    We don't have emissions here. :Brow:
    So, no cat for me. hehe
    I wonder if the crossmember on that LeSabre will fit the Regal?

    I've came across an 85ish Olds Cutlass w/a 350 in it I think I can get it pretty cheap, the tranny is shot, but, hey, what do ya know I have an extra. :grin:
    And, if nothin else, I can use the 350 out of it also.

    I don't have a daily driver right now, of my own, I get lucky though the parents have a 95 Mercury Grand Marquee that I enjoy from time to time. :)

    I really don't want to put an engine in the Regal till It's ready to "run" because I know once I get the engine in, it'll be harder for me to commit working on it. :rolleyes:



    CHEERS :TU:
