Bro, don't stress about how far along you get on each video, we are like you, working in a garage, no lift, no crew other than a wife/girlfriend or a buddy, if you don't finish it just means we get another video, which is good.... good luck in your races this week and be safe.

[@leewalker7153]

for the power steering unscrew the fitting out of the stock pump and change it with the ls one and use the stock hose they come out of the back of the pump no big deal

[@lauriie1990]

I think this is the best project yet. Keep up the good work I really want to see the end result

[@DNRAuto]

Thanks!

[@Garyganeu]

There are no little ones when your swapping to another power plant in a old car. I am proud of you for taking on another project and doing it with what you have.

[@walterkemp2456]

I have the same jack stand. Thanks tomorrow I'm going to go in garage and get them out and check that out. Thanks

[@Cheap0]

I actually already knew about the tab on the jackstands ....only because I baught some harbor freight and was watching review videos a couple years ago bit otherwise I would of never known that

[@staygold1017x]

Deadass been working on cars & motorcycles since a kid. Learned from my pops then later down the road worked for a ford master tech. I totally never knew that tab was there on jackstands! 😂

[@CarportGarageDragRacing]

My 5.3 ran 12.21@110 in good air with just a cam (BTR stage 2 turbo cam and springs) on motor. It still had the stock truck manifolds on it. That was at 3550 race weight. 11.3 on 100 shot.

[@GeraldedwardKaiser]

I like this build keep grinding Matt. This is Marcus Kaiser I was following since the beginning and I got locked up. But I'm back and congrats on that Win you got you earned it 💪

[@PaulRhodes420]

Hey Matt, thought of a good name for this one... *Fade* *to* *Black!* Because that's what they'll see, is you fading off into the black! ✌😎💨

[@freddiemoralez1536]

🎉🎉CONGRATS SOUNDS GOOD. MATT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE HAPPY, THOUGHT OUT VIDEO YOU WEREN'T TOO STRESSED OUT 😅. THUMBS UP AND GOD BLESS ALL. 😊

[@rachalhollier5679]

I’m soaked with the progress you’ve done,awesome stuff for sure. Kinda epic build I’d say

[@ryansirko4437]

Great video matt, I'm honestly amazed how much better the quality of your videos have gotten, not to say your other videos were bad or anything just much better videography! Just another gear head here in the motor city! Love the g-body

[@jesseevans7974]

Sounded good and peppy lol you will get it lined out can't wait to see you cruisen in it

[@deansutherland3570]

You do a great job walking us through your mind set and what's going on with your builds. Probably the best in the net in my opinion

[@tommycook9620]

LET'S GO

[@zenrill8723]

Makes me miss my old regal. Coming along nice! Now mal has a car she can take to the track.😅

[@craigbush189]

Nice regal matt

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Looking good I'm going to be putting my big block in my g body ss the first week of June that's how I'm spending my vacation. Can't wait

[@oldschoolbudgetracing1458]

You are making great progress on the Buick. Can't wait to see it making passes.

[@robertcribb3859]

I'd say you did a pretty fair stroke of business it sounds pretty good too⁹ and it will only get better with some run time

[@falden01]

My favorite car/racecar/nitrous/ls/put it together/street cruiser beat on it KZbin channel.

[@rachalhollier5679]

Awesome content on the regal. I had an 82 elcamino with 14x10 rim’s on the rear with Mickey Thompson H-50 sportsman pro tires. It would rub a lil bit turning. I would think about a simple frame tuck kit that’s available for g-body car’s and have a superb regal that fits a 28x10 tire and can handle whatever you throw at it and still be a daily driver,but that’s just me. They didn’t have a frame tuck kit in the early 90’s or I would have done so myself

[@scotthazelton519]

Thanks for sharing Matt

[@CarportGarageDragRacing]

Carburetors are so snappy, never seen fuel injection that snappy.

[@WhiteTrashMotorsports]

The ls truck p/s lines screwed right into my g body steering box.

[@DNRAuto]

That’s what happened years ago, for some reason this one isn’t working like that smh

[@sethster70]

I figured out about the Jack stand deal about a year or so ago whenever I bought a set of used ones that had that done already 😂 never knew it previously

[@dalehall2993]

Could have put an lsa supercharger on that thing!...

[@adamcartwright6220]

Hell yeah man! Thanks for the new video

[@DonCatherman]

Progress,,they don't have a pat on the back emoji...✋👏👏👏. A pat on the back and applause.. Great job Matt....and the DNR Auto Crew....👍👍😎💪💯

[@WillyG3234]

I definitely knew about the jack stand tab, but I never bend them in so I can take the jack stands apart

[@philipmazzuca2269]

It’s reality bud👍🏻🇺🇸

[@leprechaungarage]

Bad ass man !!! Nice work !

[@scotthazelton519]

Please put something over that carb while it's sitting

Looking good

[@Dan-ge7cy]

I remember when they first came out. Still like them . But but they had nothing for a well built small block with a carburetor . baby boomer ) and proud of it ))

[@DNRAuto]

If I had a buncha sbc parts laying around it would have gotte one of those

[@haroldmorris4138]

Stay with it You can do it don't bullshit it together it come back and bite you in the ass !! Good Luck !!

[@joshmiller8663]

Matt I believe FTI 400's have a different spline than a standard 400.

[@DNRAuto]

I think that may be part of my issue

[@MATTEOSTOWING]

Car sounds great. I think your starter to flex plate spacing is a little off. You can hear the noise it makes at start up. Id hate to see you ruin that nice flexplate. Can wait to see you ripping this thing around.

[@scotthazelton519]

Nice job brother

[@dre83cpt]

Love the g body content!

[@vrg69]

Doing awesome job brother

[@DNRAuto]

Thank you!

A rare sight to see is Matt wearing latex gloves 😂

[@DNRAuto]

true story lol

[@1clean55]

Your killing it with this one . ❤❤

[@rickj.2638]

Matt if you need a hand with that carburetor. Reach out to me I don't have a problem giving you a hand.

[@anthonylanzara923]

Lmfao I saw that dude too with the jack stand shit

[@Ravege98]

Curious choice, either yours or previous owner, to put an 84-86 grill on an 87. I hope that wasn't a turbo v6, please keep the LS swaps to NA Regals and other g-bodies.

[@whereisamerica7384]

Is the og temp sending unit 1 wire or 2 wire? I just made my 74 cutlass temperature gauge work with a LS.

[@lendellthompson3064]

[@cleckleymotorworks]

What size are those front tires?

[@davidanderson8569]

I think a 400 mounts like a 700r4 and a 350 mounts like a 2004r.

[@davidanderson8569]

And the 400 needs the shorter shaft. LOL. Sorry. Been there, done that in my 71. Even had a M-20 in it once.

[@Dan-ge7cy]

Raced at a little track in brown county. Way before war in the woods ) sketchiest track we race on . come get you some )

[@ronmiller1162]

bro if your putting in a longer driveshaft your going to need more room and what your saying is you want to move the engine back that will take room away

[@kmc468]

😎💯👍✊

[@jeremygillespie429]

Matt that thing sounds mean 😳

[@garry3013]

What did you end up doing with that short block those people give you at that event last year for Mal's Hell Camino?

[@DNRAuto]

Tommy got it

[@pontiac411]

Is that 400 a manual reverse shift pattern?

[@DNRAuto]

Yes

[@scotthazelton519]

You might surprise yourself

[@TheZaciechan]

I would use an electric power steering out of a Prius as gay as it sounds. They work amazing and you don’t the a pump or lines.

[@DNRAuto]

I’ve seen that before, never attempted it. It’s not a bad idea

[@TheZaciechan]

@@DNRAuto it’s actually pretty easy and super clean. Nice thing about it is that if the car has battery power and motor not running it has power steering at all time

[@brandonburdette7895]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Hey Matt I got a 5.3 been in the garage on a engine stand for a while I would like to give you how much you think it would cost to get it to you from south Carolina

[@DNRAuto]

I dunno but I’ll be at a race in sc at the end of the month!

Bro you have ruined this car that had a motor that didn’t run on multiple cylinders by swapping it with a motor runs on all of them. You should have definitely spent three times as much to keep the SBC in there to make less power and fuel mileage for your cruiser meant to be fun and dependable
