So a year and a half ago my sons 99 Regal LS blew the trans. 182k miles. Oh well. Replaced it with a CL special and 2 days later 2nd gear is gone. I told him to buy another car as I didn't want to mess with it another weekend.
So he picked up Mikes (302 powered) 99 Avenger. I pulled the motor and trans and let it sit. I had Kyle (Chavo) on here rebuild the trans. I put a used XP cam in it and a top swap from a '00 GTP . Stock 182k mile bottom end, cam, some headers.
I was planning on 12's for a grand but right now I'm at $1200 or so so I guess 12's for $1200? Anyways. I started it up for the first time in over a year yesterday. First video is with the open headers and 2nd is with the cat back jerry rigged up.
I plan on fully gutting it down to the metal and shaving 5-600 lbs off it. We'll see how that goes.
Yes. It's very dirty, very ugly and I don't care.
