I see quite a few vic/mustang 8.8's swapped into g bodys and quite a few people use the trz motorsports swap kit. My problem is I opted for the explorer rear because of the 31 spline axles, true trac locker, and disc brakes. Two big problems are the leaf spring setup and the offset diff. I...

Well it begins! I started a thread earlier about the plans for a turbo build which is still in the works but step 1 is to have it running and driving first. I pulled the gmpp 330hp crate and 700r4 from my 86 ss and sold it to fund my build. Engine: 2000 5.3 799 heads w/ls6...

I have been slowly accumulating parts for my swap and the end is near. For some background my car is an 86 monte carlo ss. Ive had it for about 4 years and have put 130k miles on its 330hp vortec head crate engine and 700r4. I love the car but it is becoming worn out. I have purchased a 99...

I did a fair amount of researching on the topic and didnt find anything on it. Do the g body's have interchangeable dashes? I really like the dash on my monte carlo ss and think one swapped into my malibu wagon would look killer as the dash and rest of the interior is totaled already.

Well guys i finally got it home. Its a 79 malibu wagon, one owner, 100,000 miles, 305 with a FACTORY 4 SPEED! The good ol boy of an owner wanted to keep the dealer papers for sentimental reasons but he made copies of them for me. They are very interesting and i will post a pic of them later...

Well everybody ile try to make a good introduction here. I purchased my first g body 4 years ago right before college. It was an immaculate 86 monte carlo ss, 330hp crate 350, 700r4, t-tops, silver, etc. I was in love with the monte's and had to have one. Up until now it has been my daily...
