Custom Race Inspired Fuel System for a Buick Regal - Detroit Muscle S7, E6 

Was thinking the same thing.. when they hit the gas its gonna starve..but hey that is for another show.

I thought the gas cap location was a little off. But, just adds to custom.

I second that! Should have left it behind the license plate! A regal with a filler cap on the side is goofy ! Not to mention, with it being behind the plate you don't have to worry about what side it's on when you pull up to the pump! As towards it being custom, there's a such thing as too custom. I feel like it now adds a limit that the original engineers previously perfected, and now you can only get to the pump on one side! Makes a whole lot of sense! Not!

Product placement was the only reason for them doing it that way. Gotta pay the bills! HaHa!

@@p.s.4201 in some cases you just gota refuse, stand your ground and say, Hell no!

why interrupt the body line with the filler cap? if he had just moved it down a little closer to the taillight it would have at least looked somewhat in place.

The vette was a glorified turd in 87.

Is that facetious statement 🤔

I inherited my dad's 86 buick regal limited after he passed away. 6 months later wound up going through divorce and had to get rid of all my play toys. Sure miss dad's old car.

Check out video of my buick on my channel its ls swapped

Yeeup hes got my vote

I liked Lou. As well as Ian and Jesse.

No love for Amish Mike and Pat?

Or mounted the cup he made the other way so the cap was more flush to the body.

I would have hit the junkyard and cut a fuel door off of something and grafted it in. But that’s just me

I like it behind the license plate but the way the fuel cell is located I think it’s to high up in the trunk for that unfortunately

@@raymondwilson9662 I thought about that. I'm not sure I got the reasoning for the race style tank in the first place. Maybe another build later on.

Might add hydromat?

Ya but your still right the tank should still be mounted the other way even with the fuel foam it can still cause a problem when the fuel gets low

Your onto it mate. Exactly what I thought when I saw his chosen location. Pump pickup needs to be at the rear. Build Basics 101. Quarter full tank and a good stab at the go pedal and all that remaining fuel's fu

probably too the tank out and vacuumed what he could then used a magnet and finally washed it out with water

@@0Heeroyuy01 It would have been helpful, instead of us postulating.

That was my concern soon as he made that drill

Long builds? Stacey David would like to have a meeting with you.

@@bmstylee LOL this is so true!

Apparently you don't remember the blue Chevelle or black Charger

@@bmstylee Lol yeah he's the King of forever

@@MrStacy1974 Im in Australia so we dont get these shows on tv only thru RU-vid

dew2667 lol.

dew2667 Amen. When are they going to put on some wheels and tires?!

I feel ya. The LS is a great engine with proven potential and relatively affordable build costs and will fit in virtually anything with ease, yet the Buick V6 is what it deserves and would of made it more desirable compared to the *yawn* LS conversion.

I agree I’m a GM guy and also LOVE the LS and I get the massive abundance of LS’s that are out there I guess I simply love seeing that have there own individuality instead of seeing almost every car with a LS in it what I hate most I guess is when I see people taking the engines out of GN’s and T type’s that kills me and I know this Buick wasn’t one of those cars but it would still be awesome to see one of theses shows build one

@@raymondwilson9662 Abundance of LS's ? Should fire a container full of 'em down to New Zealand, there a scarce on the ground round here compared to US, Canada and Australia. There around yes but not hanging out at the local u-pull or anything and private sellers overprice the chit out of them in an attempt to regain all the $$ lost when they wrote the car off.

RarkItOrParkIt ya you can’t take two steps in a junk yard around here with out stubbing your toe on one you can get a motor with trans and full harness for three grand the LS is in everything I know guys that are putting them in there mustangs because the LS is so cheap and reliable and my other buddy is putting one in his 71 C/10

Some states have safety inspections required every 2 years where they look very closely at that. Some emissions crazy states don’t even let you swap engines out of cars even if it’s a newer more efficient motor or the vehicle had an option for that motor. What’s on the Vin# better be under the hood. I had this issue with my truck I wanted to put the larger motor in my truck because it would get a 30HP and 60TQ upgrade along with 1MPG better but here in California that’s not allowed.

Yeh heard about those CARB laws and how Cal has been strict on that stuff for decades. So how does that work then? Can your car be legal in one state and not in the next? Or are the penalties for ignoring regulations pretty minor so nobody abides? Or just fang it around with sketchy modifications until the 2 year inspection? My curiosity comes from 80% of thes vids on RU-vid that I watch from the states somebody is modifying a steering, brake,suspension or safety component, having little or no experience or knowledge, no testing performed to the component with the resulting work having obvious visual flaws at the very least but the next thing they're ripping down the public highways and streets on full send. In New Zealand we can modify most 'critical' components however it the modification must be performed by a competent person for the desired work and the part is NDT if welded for flaws, if these conditions are not met the car cannot receive a special 'cert plate' from a unique arrangement made a few decades ago by NZ car clubs and workshops with division set up called LVVA (low volume vehicle association) with our department of transport to indicate the vehicles modification is legal and safe to be used on public roads. No cert plate and you cannot register the vehicle to use on the road. We also have a inspection (WOF) on a vehicle every 12 months (6months for older cars) where the vehicle is inspected for general fitness and any modifications and if there is no cert plate for the mods, you cannot receive a WOF, and therefore unable to use it on public roads. Sounds like a drama but works well. Stops dikheads killing innocent others with a substandard modification. Sorry for the novel. Just curious and thot share how we do it in Aotearoa. Plus were on lockdown here so im bored chitless

I said the same thing at first but it is a different look i guess, kinda like it better after i went back again and looked. I liked the header wrap idea though

..no..keep that junk were it is..to many assholes devalue fords when they junk it up with chebby crap

@@merc-ni7hy Built Ford tough!! TO FIX!!

@@larryw5429 wow..you told me off huh....tuff to fix how??..oh i cant wait to hear this

@@larryw5429 how fast is the short bus you ride to school.

+390merc 66 2jz swap?

It was custom made earlier.

if it isn't an original GN, why bother building it. a reproduction is just just a phony. might as well make something custom rather than what everyone expects.

Then how would you ever open the trunk?

Triston Williams I second that🤦🏾‍♂️ I dig the ls power but cutting it to pieces 👎🏿🤢🤮🤮

The cap behind the plate would put the cap almost downhill from the tank. Remember they’ve got a cell in the trunk now.... when the filler neck is practically horizontal, not only does it fill annoyingly slowly, but gas constantly sloshes up the filler neck. And might even stay there if parked on a hill.

andoletube Plus the -6AN lines! I mean you are building a setup that can make 600hp and you don’t go at least -8AN. Plus since they had a nice square tank to add to why not build a surge tank around the pump? There is no control of the fuel around the pump. Then he mounts the fuel filter right behind the muffler with flexible (meltable) line going in and out. Just no thought as to full system integration.

@@louiseellie5246 Good points. Fails all round.

Is it your money the're spending ? Sometimes building a car isn't just all about that resale value and filling up that dollar sign you got spinnin round your mellon with CASH CASH CASH I have two cars that I don't even count build costs on, because there worth more to me than anyone could imagine let alone afford. My 1st car and my fathers. And I already know I'm not recouping my dollars because I'm never selling them.

I have motorcycles with money spent in parts that I will never get back should I sell them. I like them so I spend the money.

I think Home & Garden has a channel you could check out.

What do you recommend, Y block Ford ?

@@Kevin_747 a flathead would be ok.

No a turbo 3.8 belongs in a Buick Regal come on they put some of what made that body style so great

@@ChristopherGaul it would be more interesting that yet another boring LS install
