    Historical Plates

    In GA you can use the old plates up to 1970 with a signed paper from the DMV. I went to the GA DOT site and printed out the form. It has to be the year of the vehicle and you have to have a current tag in the vehicle at all times. I have heard of guys getting pulled over because a lot of the...

    Couldn't make up my mind, but finally made the decision.

    I am here in Macon w/ a 79 MC. Same color as yours. Looking for some parts: interior pieces, tailllights, trim stuff. You know of any good salvage yards around? Only one I know of is Johnson's in Griffin. He specializes in older cars, but I have not been there in a while. Planning a trip soon...

    Vortec 350 in a 79 MC

    Thanks. Yes it will prob come with a flywheel. Just wondered about number of teeth, mounting holes w/350 trans etc. Will I need the starter from the donor vehicle (or one like it)? Or will my old one work? I know there is a straight and diag starter bolt pattern. Also, motor mounts, just get...

    Vortec 350 in a 79 MC

    OK, should be getting the Vortec soon. Going in a 79 MC w/305 now. Will have some questions along the way. This may have been covered already. I am going 350 trans for now. I know I need a 1 piece rear seal flywheel. What vehicle do I need to get it from? Car different than truck? I know it is...

    Anybody buy from these guys before?

    Looks like Dixie Monte Carlo. They are in the sponsor link here. They have a lot of great Gbody stuff. Hard to find parts , too.

    1971 455

    Turns out its a 1972 (early 72, built in 10-71). Can I still use the 1970 pistons? What about these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SLP-H392NCP30/ Also, what is the stock bore on this motor? Thanks again.

    Yellow or Red Top Optima

    Definately AGM in the trunk! No leaks. And I'd stick with RED top. I would only use a yellow as a secondary battery and not the main cranking battery.

    1971 455

    I guess I was asking is it a good year for the 455? As far as head design, block casting, etc.

    1971 455

    Got a lead on a 1971 Riveria. Dont think its a GS. Body is kinda rough, is the 455 motor worth getting?

    Good Price?

    10-4. Yeah, I dont know if id want to fool with the engine swap, looking at just goin carbed Votec 350 w/ mild roller cam, but the 4 speed and rear end would be nice! Plus i would love to have one of those engines sitting around just in case! :twisted:

    Good Price?

    Have not seen it yet, but got a lead on a 1987 GN. All original. A tree limb fell on it and broke the sunroof a couple years ago, so you can emagine the shape its probably in. Guy says will crank and run, he is a good customer of mine so I believe him. It has a salvage title, so id probably just...
