    I had some issues today with my l67 setup in the regal, and am heading out tonight to pick up a low mileage L26. I am hoping to get it in the car and running tomorrow. I am going to run stock heads and cam for now, and bolt up the turbo kit as is. I know that the tb from the l26 is a drive by wire, so I am going to be purchasing an adapter to run the l67 tb with the l26, so i can retain the drive by cable. Are there any other modifications that I need to be aware of? TIA!!

    Meh, not really.

    Swap all the L67 brackets over to it.

    Use the entire L26 top end...IIRC you need to make the PCV functioning along with the EVAP...which you can tap the manifold for...I did it on my '98 GT when I did the L26 UIM swap.

    Like I said last night when you were sliding it off my truck:

    Put your coil pack bracket on it
    Put your flex on it (cause they didn't give you one)
    Get an L36 fuel rail from a JY
    Obviously remove the exhaust and put yours on for the turbage
    Remove unneeded brackets..you know the ones.

    Start that B up.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
