    I would just like to say, this site is a blessing. And if there's anybody who can help me can the 4.1l v-6 and give me info on putting in a buick 350. All the ins and outs.

    please and thank you,

    Well, If you're gonna bother with an engine swap...

    If it were me, I'd drop in a 455. Fits nicely in a Regal, from what I gather. Loads more torque, and not a lot more money or trouble. You'll lose a little fuel economy, but with an extra 100+ cubic inches, what do you expect? :)

    Well, besides the engine, you'll probably have to change the front springs to deal with the extra weight. If you are putting in a performance engine, the wimpy 200C trans and the 7.5" rear will not last long. The accessories from the V-6 should bolt right up to a 350. It would be a good idea to go over to the forum "Regals with extra cylinders", and ask the question there. You'll get plenty of help and answers for anything you need to do.
