    Can a Bench Be Turned Into Buckets?

    We just couldn’t adapt the 4l80 to the column shifter.

    Can a Bench Be Turned Into Buckets?

    That’s a good idea. I don’t care about not having true buckets. That doesn’t bother me.

    Can a Bench Be Turned Into Buckets?

    I hadn’t thought about the seat being thinner over the hump, good call. I guess another option would be pulling the covers off the bench and having an upholstery shop use that to cover a set of buckets.

    Can a Bench Be Turned Into Buckets?

    No, it’s a full bench. But the driver and passenger backs are bucket width and fold down independently, as the center of the back is the flip down armrest. I know I’ll have to weld the mounts to the floor, I’m just wondering if anyone has actually cut the center out of a full bench to make...

    Can a Bench Be Turned Into Buckets?

    I have an 83 MC with an absolutely mint blue interior. I had to install a floor shifter for my LS swap, and I just don’t like the way it looks. The plan is to swap to buckets and a console now. Unfortunately, finding my 2-year only interior color is hard, and any repro seat covers I can find are...

    MONTE CARLO Column Shift with 4L80E

    Hey bud, is there any chance you can snap a pic of how you have the cable attached to the shifter bracket on the column? I ended up getting the Lokar kit, but it’s a no go.

    Anyone Using the BRP Sending Unit?

    I got the BRP sending unit with the Walbro pump. This things about 3” too tall for the EFI tank I have. Anyone else running this sending unit/pump?

    MONTE CARLO Column Shift with 4L80E

    Do you have pics of your setup per chance? Did you just use the cable from a B&M shifter you already had?

    MONTE CARLO Column Shift with 4L80E

    Are you using long tube headers, too? The cable has a bracket it mounts to behind the selector on the trans which provides the tension. Yeah, I guess that’s where the interference is, with the drivers side header.

    MONTE CARLO Column Shift with 4L80E

    Has anyone successfully swapped in a 4L80E while maintaining the column shifter? I know the shift linkage won’t clear the Hooker swap headers. Lokar makes a column shift cable kit that comes in 2” or 2 1/4” column sizes. My cars about an hour away from me right now, so I can’t measure. Has...

    MONTE CARLO Hello From Michigan

    Yep, I’ve got a full BPR EFI sending unit and line kit. I’m about to grab a GN tank, I’ve just gotta figure out if I can reuse my filler neck, as Rock is out of the neck. Thank you! I’m in the metro Detroit area.

    MONTE CARLO Hello From Michigan

    It’s actually pretty perfect for its age! No frame rust, rockers, fenders and trunk pan are spotless. Interior is 10/10, too!

    MONTE CARLO Hello From Michigan

    The first few pics are from when I first found it. It had been sitting on a lift above a vintage Mercedes in a 90-something-year-old guys garage for the pst 20 years. The last pic is when I got it home and gave her a bath. C5CDDBC0-0ADB-4C67-980B-901B0EC0765F by straturday posted Feb 24...
