Well... I have been wrenching like a mofo on this that and the other... I need to REALLY start my own shop. Was going to rebuild my motor, but cant find a decently priced housing and rotor, so then put that on hold to modify my new supercharged buick regal, then helped my cousin rebuild his GTP, and now back to the FC....



Here is the donor car for my GXL:

A tree fell on her mothers day.... interior is REAL clean, body looks like it WAS in really good shape, but frame was pretty rusty (not that I cared, motor got good compression https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR ).

Car got to join the Indy 500 Pace truck (how someone let that rust away is beyond me, that is probably a VERY rare truck), and some old van

I try my best phins.... We still need to strip it a little more... I need the rear end out.



ANYONE NEED ANY TII PARTS?????



And on the Buick Century... there isnt as much as there is for the Regal. The buick century comes with the 3.1L I do believe (same as in the Berreta's, Grand Am's, etc). There is a bit you can do to it though. Check out this link:

Now as for the Buick it has the same motor that comes in the Supercharged Grand Prix's and there is quite a big aftermarket for those... I think the quickest Grand Prix is currently running high 10's
