What all did you have to change? Did the ss cover bolt up to the factory bumper? I've seen conflicting responses regarding the non ls front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I've seen articles about the difference with ls models and luckily I prefer the classic look. I'm thinking of blacking out the side trim and leaving the chrome on the front. Going back and forth with the seller now. He wants to get rid of the whole front clip but I would have to find a...

I've read a bunch about swapping from other model front bumpers to ss, but I'd like to go in the opposite direction. Before anyone talks about devaluing the car I got it with a a cracked up bumper cover including headlight buckets and a rattle can paint job. The one I'm looking at is from an 84...

I might be able to get a set of shorty headers free & was wondering if anyone makes a y pipe that attaches to a 3 bolt flange. I'm ditching the 32 year old cat so it will have a test pipe there unless someone makes a setup that goes back to the next flange. I'll be going with true duals...

Nice clean install. Any clearance issues with the 4l80? This has probably been covered before but I'm just starting to look into doing a swap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 207/214 cam in my current 305. It has a noticeable idle, close to stalling sometimes & goes from sluggish to badass as the rpms build. I have been thinking about using it in the 350. From what I've read it should be milder in a larger motor with a better power curve. My goal for the car...

I am in the process of getting a 350 together to drop into my 85 ss. I'm not building it too powerful right now but would figure I might as well upgrade the converter while the motor is out. Seems every time I try to research them most of the results are for the 700. From what I understand some...

I would try holding a hammer by the head & tap from the inside with the handle.

Thanks again. I'll try to find that write up. I saw a couple posts but they were more people asking about them.

Thanks for the replies. I am thinking about doing 2" drop spindles and have no intention of using firmer lowering springs. Been there done that. I may cut a little off the back just to level it out some. Gt_80 I have a motor similar to yours waiting to drop in. How do you like the afterburners...

To start here's what I have: mildly modded 305, 200 trans, peg leg 3.73 rear, 225/60/15 fronts (might change they bulge more than I'd like), 295/50/15 rears. The rears have about 1/4" clearance from the frame & don't stick out but do run under the lip. I'm weighing my options as far as posi but...

I was looking at it and my window molding is so deteriorated I can roll it down and have about 2 inches of access.

I'm in a tough spot. I went to open the passenger door on my 85 mc and felt a click. The handle went up but the latch didn't disengage. I can't get it open from the inside either. Any ideas how I can get the door open? I'm sure I can figure out the problem once I can access it. But if anyone...

My 85 monte is pretty much set up like skulledmonte84 was saying. I have a 2101 non egr performer intake, non ccc qjet & accel ignition. Ac, computer & air system removed but otherwise stock under the hood. It's night and day how much less cluttered it looks. Can't wait to drop in my serpentine...
