Haven't had a lot of personal experience with dixiemotecarlos, but I know a few guys who run early 70's montes, and that name comes up a lot. They are very happy with them. Also hear good things about Mikesmontes too.

So I have finally got my '81 Regal to my shop. Also, I am finding that a lot of places I used for parts for Camaros only sell parts for the most popular cars, no G-bodies. The only one that does is Year One and their selection is limited and spendy. Does anyone have good sources for...

welcome

That sounds good, those rear ends are going to be hard to find in a junkyard around here, but I will keep my eyes peeled. Are the widths good? seems like they would be a little wide for the G-bodies. Any chance you would happen to know the Napa part number for that u-joint? The parts guys...

just realized I wrote "but" instead of "bit". :rofl: It is way too early here. I'm just looking for whatever people may know from their heads. No need to do research for it, I've got that end covered. I was just hoping some might know. I will keep digging though.

by the way; dougfather, I did read that post, just forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me though, a quick run through got me all straightened out. Good info there. My grandma had one of these deisels in a big gold Oldsmobile when I was a kid. Kind of funny what we do with the cars our...

I know, I am just hoping that people who have cars that came with v8s could just tell me what their letter on the vin is. I have a pad and paper ready to copy every one of them down. I have looked around a but on the internet for a site like I have for my F-bodies, and A-bodies, it is a...

Yes it is going to be the Chevy 350 from my Camaro going into the Regal. Although the motors and trannies are a little different, the mount positions are all the same. My little brother has a '68 cutlass that someone had put a chevy 350 into, we swapped it back to an orrigional Olds 350/350...

So all of my junkyard crawling (my favorite past-time), newspaper and internet searching, and backyard cruising has payed off. I negotiated my deal for a G-body yesterday. A friend of a friend heard of my quest for a secondary project, and over breakfast at a local diner, offered me an '82...

I am just now aquiring my first G-body, so the list is small, for now. This car is going to recieve most of the running gear from my current '79 Camaro project when it undergoes a full restoration and become a brand new car. I am somewhat like an alchoholic with his boose when it comes to my...

Im going to agree largely with 85cutlass here, low 13's to high 12's should be expected with a little track experience. Some things you didn't mention that will help secure that well sought after 12 second pass: Stall converter choice, Trans mods, ignition system, and cooling system. I am sure...

I am usually listening to all types of rock music when I drive, and it will vary more with my mood than how I am driving. All the way to the laid back soothing sounds of my good friend Jack Johnson, to classics like Led Zephlyn, and ACDC, to the heavy As I Lay Dying, and In Flames. I can also...

I've got several more of these top ten lists that I will post from time to time. They always make me laugh. Some are so very true.

Ah sorry didn't clarify, I don't mean cheap quality paint, I just refer to single stage being less expensive than a base coat/clear coat deal. I'm fairly sure it was you saying your $700 paint was a factory color. I prefer to use either Dupont or House of Color for paint, and what little work...

I called many body shops in many different places all over the states. You seems to be comparing high dollar stuff again though. Etching primer is awsome and "factory" colors are nice, but both are VERY expensive. Try getting that Winner's Blue, or Vitcory Blue (I can never remember which one...

If you've ever riden in or even driven a 302 powered Z28, that is one of the most kick *ss small blocks Chevy ever used. A very impressive motor, an nearly impossible to find these days. I don't know a whole lot of the Trans-Am racing, but what you said seems pretty close to what I remember...

wow, this is really getting to be fun. What was the absolute lowest package available on the old 510? I know they are a neat car (rwd makes the biggest difference), and a lot of people like them. They go really good with an sr20det! You know, one import car I really would like to have that...

I watched "4 brothers" again, the cutlass was badged as a 442. Also completely forgot about the black Monte Carlo used in "Training Day" with Denzel Washington, and Ethan Hawk. Not a fan of wire wheels and hydraulics, but the car was clean.....for a while.

1: The roll cage is a perfect place to hang your dry-cleaning 2: You can practice transbrake launches at stoplights 3: There really is a great way to drown out the thumping bass from the honda next to you 4: Wheelie bars double as curb feelers 5: Gotta love the "lift and separate"...

you know I am actually enjoying this conversation I am having here, although I appreciate you standing up for the musclecars. I don't feel belittled at all here (just look at the list on the man's olds, he knows whats going on). This is actually the first time I have been in a discussion with...
