jimmyfloyd Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Andre, here's some inspiration. Ok, so I went to a car show this weekend with my father. As I was getting ready to leave I saw a car come in that I wanted to check out. while I waited for them to park, I ended up standing next to this car. After looking over my shoulder and doing a double take trying to figure out who would enter a 1993 regal into a car show, I went ot look it over. Details: 1993 Regal GS 2 door AQ9 bucket leather seats with rear buckets Series 2 L67 Getrag 284 Grand prix console with DIC Grand prix crosslaces painted black Z34 hood vents GSX badge on the front. This is what I would want to do if I could build my own (minus the boost gauge and the stuff on the DIC.)

xtremerevolution Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Very nice. Yeah I actually messaged the guy a few times. Very nice car indeed. His is much, much cleaner than mine though. Mine is showing signs of use after a long time. Paint chips here and there, the engine bay isn't anywhere near as clean, and more that I don't care to go into right now. I've gone from "keep this car looking as great as possible" to "keep this car running great for as long as possible." One thing he doesn't have me beat in is the sound system, and of course, the suspension. Only a handful of people on this board have a setup that corners as well or better than mine.

jimmyfloyd Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have to agree there. And his is showing signs of age as well, but they just don't show up in pictures. Some rust bubbles here, some broken trim there, some screws holding these on, but it is still a sharp looking car. I PMed him to see where exactly he is from and to see about meeting up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

base93lumina Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hey superdan33, i always wondered why you removed the strut to core support braces? Do they not clear the coolant tank and intake pipe? Sweet car btw! Im lovin the whole setup and appearance. Not a fan of the woodgrain interior, but nice overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet car btw! Im lovin the whole setup and appearance. Not a fan of the woodgrain interior, but nice overall Actually, if the car had a 3800 in 91-93 (at least, maybe 94-95-96 as well) it did not have those braces... They should be added in to make the car more rigid, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With difficulty. Calculate your costs in a worst case scenario, then double it. That's what the project will cost you. Double the expected time as well. I would recommend a non-hd trans and a HD differential. That way, you get 3.29 gearing. I call it "haul ass" gearing. Don't get a 2003+ trans. Axles will have to be custom made with OEM parts due to the HD diff, and if you want headers, prepare to butcher the firewall. Makes for a fun car. Get the widest tires you can find because you'll have trouble keeping the power to the ground. With 245 wide Firestone G019 Grids, I can't keep traction in first at WOT. Gas mileage will average around 19mpg city/highway. I don't recommend an L67 swapped 1st gen as a daily driver.

9RegalGS2 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) indeed sir i figure it will cost more than just buying another car,but i really have wanted to do this for probly 6-7 years im good on the mechanical side and have a friend or 2 in the electrical department that will hopefully help like they said lol.probly wont start till fall as im getting the donor car in a few days.and as far as axels are you saying ill need custom ones if i do get the hd trans or ill new custom axels no matter what?i was just gonna go with a 3"dp and ported rear manifold.i know i would not drive it daily,but i would drive it alot in the summer.i have a 97 riviera as my daily.if i may inquire,what did you end up spending on your swap? edit:okay i think i see now i will need custom axels no matter what.and for trans are you saying use the 4t60-e thats already in the regal with the hd diff from a 4t65-e hd?or use a standard 4t65-e with a hd diff from the hd trans?

pshojo Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 You can either make your hybrid axles, or call Milzy Motorsports. He can sell you any parts you can't find or don't want to take time to get/mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9RegalGS2 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 ah i see.thanks much sir,im really excited to start on it,i know when i actually do i will be cursing and whatnot,but i have a passion for these regals and with the drivetrain upgrade im looking forward to having a pretty cool machine and xtreme.-im crap with transmission and there terminology,but what would i need off the regal im getting,what do i take off that transmission to add to a non hd transmission later?
