87 Buick Regal Single 76mm turbo 5.3l/4l80E budget build

[Sleeper]

I'm really looking forward to seeing this complete as I plan to go turbo 5.3 / 4L80E soon. Ken can be my guinea pig so I can learn from him doing it first, lol!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

yes Ken and the other 200+ people around the country doing the same lol.

Good luck with it all Ken, hope it comes together quickly.

good ol' autozone, they didi the same thing for my sisters rotors, didnt notice until I had her car all apart. Hurry up and get Kelly's truck done and then roll the Regal it is new home, let it get settled over night and start in the morning.
