Doesn't have to be 100% stock. I've been looking online but everyone offers a catback system. Also looking at headers with a complete exhaust.

Got a stock 87 Aerocoupe and the exhaust has been cut and welded on several times before I got the car. One of the exhaust pipes was rusted out just after going over the rear axle. Looking to replace the whole system starting at the manifolds. Does anyone make a system? I'm also thinking about...

I have a 87 Monet Carlo ls with a 4.3 V6 that my parents bought new. It stays stored inside and get started up every so often. Couple of months ago it started running a little rough at idle and starts coughing a little before it dies. The motor was swapped out about 10 years ago with a 92...

Trying to find the exact wire to hook back up on my 87 Monte Carlo Aerocoupe. Had someone change the factory carb, distributor and intake out. For some reason the three wires to the torque converter lock up switch on the trans were cut off. The three wires on the switch are a solid purple, green...

Got the 5.3 engine and trans in my 84 Monte Carlo ss. Wondering what everyone else is using in their fuel systems? I see Holley has a sending unit, pump, and built in Regulator #12-306 $329.95. I also see people using another sending unit for an efi car and a corvette fuel filter. I have an 87...

Does the bracket between the trans and crossmember mount towards the back of the trans?

wondering if anyone had pictures of a 5.3 with the transmission in a gobdy. Mainly just seeing how a Holley crossmember looks bolted in. Thanks.

The pictures I posted were my second attempt. The first attempt was using the second holes. I couldn't get the holley brakets on the engine to line up with the frame mounts. The engine was hitting the ac box. Right now I have 7/8 inch of space from the firewall to the back of the cylinder head...

Pulled the tired 305 out of my 84 Monte Cralo SS and putting a 2006 truck 5.3 in along with the transmission. Got the Holley engine mounts and 302-2 Holley oil pan. I can get the mount bolt in on each side but the oil pan is barely hitting the front crossmember. Called Holley's tech service but...

Super clean car!

I love these ls engine turbo builds.....

Nice car!

I have a scan tool that was given to me years ago when a friend passed away. Used it on the car today and I got " No data at alcl connector." The engine in the car is from an astro van. Not sure if the intake and injection system is from the astro or the original. Fuel injection was rebuilt by a...

Have an 88 monte with the 4.3. Original engine went down and the owner installed a 4.3 out of an astro van (92 maybe). Went to start the car today and it had trouble staying running. Finally idles on its own. When turned off, and tried to start again, its hard to start. Once it gets going, black...

Picked up anothe monte a while back.
