What did you buy for your G-body today? [2024]

Major win today.
Deal too good to pass up.
The guy is building a sweet rig out of real clean car. I was able to get the complete interior minus the front seats and carpet. Which I don’t since I head nice front leather seats and my carpet is new.
The guy even gave me a UMI rear tie bar.

I only drove the Monte Carlo 2 times in the last 2 years. I don’t know or understand how to tune the Holley sniper system and have never really cared for the way the car drove, started, and performed with the sniper system. Well a couple weeks ago I gutted all that out and put it back to a carburetor. Yesterday I changed the fouled out plugs in it. That’s always a fun job with angle plugs and headers. Today I went and got a new battery for it and decided it was time to start tuning the new brawler 650 on the 327. After about an hour of tweaking and a few test drives, this car is running better than it ever has!! No more sluggish take off from a stop, no more hard starts, and now this thing pulls through all 5 gear! Now it’s the car I wanted it to be in the beginning. Time to start looking at dro it a couple inches to get that aggressive stance!!

edit: we I just realized I posted in the wrong thread 🤦

I'd guess you spend some money on the tune up parts, plus, battery etc.

If you'd rather it be in the what did I do rather than what did I buy though, I'd be happy to move it for you

I appreciate that! I guess it really doesn’t matter. I bought parts and worked on it so maybe it’s a post for both threads! 😂
Thanks ck. It’s fine where it’s at.

That for a SBC? Cause I believe I have a complete used setup that was my brother’s for a whole lot less. I can check that I still have it and get pictures.had some solid lifter cam’s too. All cam out of a Budlight race motor raced a Star Raceway or Hudson NH. The class he was in he couldn’t use it.

Yes, 1 piece rear main though. The sump needs to be around 8 inches long or so to fit a G body front stub. I have one already, but it’s for a Camaro front so it’s around 10 inches long.
