I've got a 430 from a 69 electra and just bought an 82 regal that's been in storage 20 years with a blown diesel. rust free but ratted out inside.
I'm thinking the diesel springs should work right with the 430 any ideers on that?
I wonder what kind of tranny the thing has I havn't picked it up yet.
I'm pretty sure the rearend is a junk 7.5. prolly be looking for a 9"
how'd you get yours bolted up? what mounts and headers?

@chevelle1977 sure it does...they see them and say check out that hill billy v6 car with all the wannabe doo dads and the hole in the muffler...
then they get beat and find out someone actually went beyond cutting the ac hoses and putting on the baubles and did an actual engine swap.
I think the giveaway would be the lack of air shocks.
if the tail was jacked another foot in the air then you could be sure it was still a v6 car or at the most had a 305 chevy in it
