I appreciate these clean builds far more than any show car. I can't thank you enough for sharing it with us.
Also brother I’m 31 and had my monte since I was 14 so not the only one to have yours a long time. Many different phases to these yet they all end ls turbo lol gotta love it
whats up jeff, you keep doing you buddy. i enjoy watching you and john having fun. keep up the good fun/work.
Nice gbody... my first car was a 84 elcamino got it in 2001. Spent lots of money restoring it as a teenager over a few years. kept it running & driveable most of the time while I worked on it. Was stolen in 2005. Had lots of badass cars since but haven't gotten back around to building another one.... Looks like you get out & enjoy yours. Awesome ride man. Love the channel
Nice man. It's amazing how many mods you've done are exactly what I've done to my 79 Regal.
Boxing the frame do not do as much as people think. It's still too flexible. And that's why I ran an extra cross member in front of the rear suspension and added rollbar tubing running down the length of the driveshaft tunnel and splayed out to the frame rails near the front body mounts(unless you want a cage, then you don't need to go crazy on the body and chassis). The extra body mounts could be under the doors or above the rear axle. Many cars only have the bottom half in these locations and serve as bumpers. Only the gnx has the mounts above the axle but both of my 79 monte Carlos had full mounts under the doors. My current 79 is getting the gnx mounts and an x frame behind the seats as well as the mods I've already done to the chassis. It also has the struts in front of the front cross member and the strut rods above the engine that most g bodies don't have. The spring rate stock is about 450lb/in or about 320 which some people prefer for drag racing but the information varies from about 420 to about 480 for the stronger springs which is probably a result of the spring rate changing in the first small amount of compression. I also have about 550lb/in springs but mine are stock s10 springs from moog but I couldn't tell you the exact application or Vin code perhaps I'll remember the moog number later. My rear springs are A body cargo or wagon springs from moog. I believe they are cc501 but there are a few A body springs in that ballpark since the axle weight was much higher but the installed height was 2" lower it balances out and you get a stiffer spring. The 1200lb number (pretty sure it's much more than that) is that static weight it takes to hold the car up no the rate these cars are well over 60% front axle weight probably close to 70% and the control arm acts as a lever on the spring so the front spring has to be quite strong. It also helps to use the s10 extreme bumpstops to give a variable compression rate and they can have minimal clearance as they are meant to be used in compression not just an endstop but the rears should have a bit of clearance for weight transfer so stock stops might be fine.
Love your car ! Don't knock the ttype steering wheel luv'm got one in my Buick wagon . Nice to see your car is a working man's car not some high dollar off the wall build . Thanks and keep the videos coming .
Wow small world! Remember seeing your car in a forum build thread years ago. Think you had just done all the frame work and wheels when I started following the thread. Always wondered how the car turned out. Love the car, and enjoy your channel!
Nice 👍🏾 definitely can’t wait to start working on my 1984 Monte Carlo SS… this video most definitely hyped me up to really start working out of my garage on my car! 💯💪🏾
Nice build bud..... nice to see a real working man's build....no open check book or sponcerd free parts.......great job..
Ive seen the car a bunch of times when Ive been to rpm, good to see the run down.
Fantastic build brother!
A purpose built car out shines a trailer queen anyday for me! Great job brother!
Awesome car Jeff! Enjoy the long weekend and hope to get up there to pick up my truck early next week!
Sweet ride man, love it! Hoping to make it down to Galot in June to meet you guys. Keep em coming
Nice lookin' build, we'll be watching as it progresses.
That's a utilitarian bad ass that still looks good. Awesome car.
Nice work . I have always been a fan of building for purpose myself . The outside looks good too .
You're Buick is a pure beast brother.
Great ride Brother, Doc could learn a thing or two from you about using a flashlight with a GoPro. LOL!
in my opinion the mirrors would look really good in black to match the grill. very nice car by the way.
Beautifully done, I cannot seem to stay consistent on my 1978 Sport Coupe Monte Carlo constantly changing my ideas and recently acquiring a 1987 Olds T-Top Cutlass & another 1978 Monte Carlo, blah blah blah
Great Build always great content
U
That was a great video! You did a great job explaining everything! Thank you for the post!
Nice car... My nephew works a Holley in BG ky. He has a ls swapped g body..Malibu..
6.0 Texas speed motor, ride tech suspension , 9" rear end.. The engine has a high rise aluminum intake with Holley terminator efi with a digital dash.
Hell Yea
No way you worked at livernois! Lived in metro Detroit my whole life except 8 years in DC now back. They do great stuff at livernois. No wonder you know your stuff so well :)
Very nicely done G Body ! I am in NC and mess mainly with Novas.

Nice job on the car, and been waiting on this vid forever. I remember when you fabbed up the headers, and was super impressed!
Thanks guy
Thanks for sharing!!! Beautiful build!!!
California has lots of cars in good shape Many. Buick s 87 s. 86. I seen near my home
I appreciate your honesty you live by the honest truth I don't want to grow up I'm a Toys R Us kid why have if you won yourself I think that takes more of a man to admit than anything
adjustment cup. never heard that before. we call them weight jacks short for spring cup weight jacks. they are more for setting corner weights. which intern changes ride height on each corner it's more of a side effect. that's just from my years of dirt oval ump modified and late models. and whelen asphalt modified. everyone has their own terms for things and sometimes when some people say things I'm like wtf you talking about. atleast when you said this I was like oh yeah he's talking about weight jacks 😂😂 tomato tohmato I guess. either way is right.
I love this car man it’s such a clean build you are very talented man. Could you please tell me what engine mounts you used to get the intake to clear the factory hood? Or did you make them?
Killer g body!! I got an 88’ Monte Carlo SS . Bought it off an old lady! It’s my daily now. This is exactly what I want to do to mine. Want to build mine? 😂😂💯💪🏻
I wish I had the time to build another
Yeah my regal build begins next year 😩 here in Detroit
I have watched this car lots... Badass.. I'm doing a frame off 84 right now.. Got that car 25 years ago.. What cam and or specs ya running?
It was something I had laying around the shop. Not sure the specs
Nice ass ride! I got a m-80 Malibu I'm trying to get right really Wana do a ls swap in it!
Do you have an issue the air to water inter cooler being mounted where it is ? I wanna do that setup on my 240
Not at all
there's no problem with qua1 coil overs on the front off ANY Gbody and ride height is way more adjustable and spring rates from 190lbs and up
Really nice and thought out
Maybe I missed it but what trans are you running? Anything special done with it? Trans brake? Manual valve body? Or does it just shift on its own?
Nice build...
Nice build...Where is the exhaust?
Who did the wiring harness for your Buick I am doing 1983 cutlass if can help me my first build I built a streetcar from a friend had a junk bad motor or wiring I have my high school car my grandfather bought me never sold had 231 v6 when ls swaps came alone I was happy bought lot book and reading all time thank you for the video p.s. have 6.0 motor right sitting at home looking 243 heads and ls 2 intake and 700r4 trans try to have little fun with it if any wisdom on first build I be glad for the help thank you so much
Current Performance
Good Luck with your project
You mentioned in the video that you didn't like the ratchet shifter which shifter are you planning on switching to? I thought the ratchet shifter was pretty cool. I'm getting ready to LS swap my 84 Buick Regal and was looking for ideas thanks
I probably won't switch it. But if I did, a B&M pro bandit
Great build
Hey...love the car.. awesome work..do you do any work on other peoples cars...I have a 85 Buick with 455 I'm trying to build...where at in North Carolina are you
I just work on stuff at RPM Motorsports in garner nc
I HAD A 1987 T/TYPE CRUSHED IT ON RT 46 IN NJ.
Nice ride.
I am doing a LS 6.0 swap in a 78 Buick Regal. I want to run a On3 single turbo. I am looking for how the exhaust is set up. Any info?
Hey man great vids and awesome car, where in NC are ya b/c I'd love to talk shop with ya sometime. I have an original 87 we4 t-top car that unfortunately I have let go over the years sitting my driveway and wanna bring her back to life "correctly". Maybe you can lead me to some good contacts that actually know v6 turbos, do you have any hang outs with like minded racers? I'm in the High Point area right next to Greensboro by the way.
I'm in raleigh
Question? Do U take long rides with the air to water intercooler. The reason I ask cause a lot of ppl keep telling me to go air to air cause air to water is not meant for the street. So what do u think about that? Get back with me, I would highly appreciate it💯
That’s a really nice Clark!!! Woooooooo!
Nice job on the Buick .Where did you purchase the adjustment cups.
Speedway motors
Nice build .wat brand of intercooler pump is that ??
It's for a 03 cobra
Hey what’s up do you have a fuse box on the engine harness and is it necessary to have it or what and how you connected that harness and thanks
Dude, SO SICK!! I love it.
That’s one awesome car!!!!!! What transmission?
4l60
Hey I m in search for Manuel driver door window regulator any suggestions to I can find one . My car is a 1978 Buick Regal Limited .
Keep it up man, nasty g body!
New subscriber love you videos I am working on a 85 Monte Carlo and I wondering if you could share what tubing you used to make the cross member and coil over mount. Thanks
Its 1 3/4 mild steel dom
Jeff what brand inter cooler is that??
I am further inspired. Good video bro.
hey jeff lookin at doing a ls swap in my b body kinda curious did u go with the 4l60e or the 4l80e
Ayee what brand are you using for the rear sway bar? Is it direct fit without any mods?
Its a bmr, direct fit
@@HighPSItv sweet!
Love the car.. gbody..
Nice.
excellent!
Love it
Good job.
The upper control arms can I get a set of those for like a 92 C 1500 Silverado do you have a number to the company or anything like that would help thank you
Very nice, don't know if i missed if you decided to go with automatic transmission.
I stayed manual
High PSI tv Cool, thank you the response. Love that Regal.
Did you have to change your accessory bracket?
They are F body
I was a bit surprised to see a 7.5" in it. How has it held up?
So far so good
Bad ass car
I've always liked the buick. Since 2k subs I've been down. What happened with livernois?
The recession in detroit happened
High PSI tv Yup. I felt that too living here in Detroit. Looks like you bounced back pretty good. The Carolina's are nice. No more Gully St. burnouts....lol
Solid motor mounts? Can you explain why?
No one made swap mounts at the time.
But solid mounts meaning....without bushings?
I sadly sold my Buick Turbo Regal to a shop around the corner from you. I miss that 87 daily.
Who did you sell it too
😎🇺🇸 Hey Buddy 👍Sweet Ride ✌🏻🤙🏻
What size injectors are you running? I've been going back and forth on either a. Lsa or turbo for my 85 c10
89lb Fast
What accessory drive is she? I have a similar setup in my monte and want power steering but have the alternator right there from the truck set up
It's all mix match. Mainly F body and then a bmr alter actor mount.
High PSI tv thanks man sorry I didn’t see your reply. I would love to speak to you I tried talking to your buddy John about getting a cam specked but he wasn’t sure and said he would speak to Ryan with your shop I think and they just gave me a price no specs I understand not wanting to give specs to a serious racer but I got a stock 6.0 with a 475 and an intake nothing special. Is there a Anyway we can chat?
Where can I get one of those intake with fuel rails and throttle body.I have a 03..6.0 from a 2500..want nice hood clearance..and its completely stock..
Search on eBay, or go aftermarket
This is legit af.
It's basically me....at 30.... Luckily you don't have to contend with Traumatic Brain Injury.
Need to do a video on how to swap a ls the wiring
Hey what headers you use
Which part of NC? I'm from Washington
Hey jeff im just asking what do you think your 1/4 mile time would be
It has been 10 90s before spinning
High PSI tv oh sweet thats not bad what gears do you think would be the best for 1/4 mile
Sweet Pea!
Very nice!
Nice car are you in Deleware or North Carolina
NC
Great car, Great video! The best part was,,,, no profanity 👍👍
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂😂😂😌😌mommy gonna get mad at if you watch videos with profanity 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😖😖😖🗣️🗣️🗣️😬🤗🤡
Love the Car man, its sexy in white! What exhaust setup are you running on the Tahoe, Has for Headers more so? I have an 05 2500HD putting a Magnaflow12590 under it and a cat delete. Was wondering if SHORTYS are worth the investment, or just tune it with cai,Efans, and exhaust?
Shortys are not worth it
What you do to reinforce the rear end
@highpsitv how much do you have into building your garage
About 40k
Why no grommets on braided fuel lines?
Saving money. Lol
I know a good paint man
