    Back to my G Body roots

    Hello everyone. It’s been some time since I’ve been on the forum and did any posting. I occasionally get on the site and check out some posts and see what is available in the classifieds but haven’t really interacted much. I haven’t drove my Monte Carlo in a couple years because I don’t have...

    Aluminum intake prices

    My buddy went to oreilly the other day to buy a 200.00 off the shelf Edelbrock aluminum intake. Nothing special, just the EPS intake. It is now 449.00. I haven’t looked around at summit or any others but that is ridiculous. Anyone else notice this price increase?

    eBay engine rebuild kits

    Holley Sniper EFI. Who’s running one, any opinions, tuning?

    So I have the Holley sniper throttle body on the 327 in my mcss with a t5 behind it. Almost every time I drive it, it acts different. I have probably 700 miles on it in 3 years and it isn’t what I thought it would be so far. Im not giving up on it but there is no consistency. Last couple times...

    Spring compressor

    Hello everyone. I’m trying to install the front coil springs in my 51 Chevy truck and it’s not cooperating. What spring compressor do you guys recommend? I got a brand new one from a buddy and it stripped the threads off the rod before the spring was compressed. So I went to autozone and got...

    The bracing saga continues

    Last week I posted a thread about my homemade Lower control arm braces. A lot of you gave me great feedback and advice. While under the car, I started brainstorming. The frames on these cars like to flex. I opted not to weld a LCA brace and made a “bolt in” style. Why can’t I do that with...

    Homemade LCA braces. Opinions?

    If everything goes as planned, I want to autocross my Monte Carlo at the super summit in Norwalk Ohio in July. I plan on buying some suspension parts when UMI gets back after Covid 19. I thought bracing the chassis at the lower control arms would be a good idea. I don’t want to weld on the...

    GNX mount

    So I got all my body bolts out and going to replace the mounts. Now I see that a lot of members here recommend the prothane mounts due to a better price verses energy suspension. My question is, does the prothane set come with the extra body mounts like energy suspensions? Also does anyone...

    Fluid Film

    So there was a thread last week where a member asked about body mounts. I posted in the thread about replacing mine and got a lot of great responses and helpful information. Thanks to everyone that shared their input! Anyway, quite a few members mentioned PB Blaster. I have and still do use...

    T56 differences. Is there any?

    Hello everyone, I found a t56 transmission out of a 1998 (if I remember right) Pontiac Trans Am. It had an LT1 in front of it. 80000 miles were on the clock and have the Bellhousing with it. I have looked up if there were any differences and really the only thing I am seeing is input and...

    Hello everyone, I haven’t posted in awhile. Been working on another project, my 67 K10 truck. Got that pretty much where I want it and now I am eager to do a few more upgrades to the MCss. I want to put 2” lowering springs in the rear to level it out. I have the stock F41’s in the front. KYB...

    What carb is this?

    Hello everyone. I picked this carburetor up at the local junkyard the other day and not sure what the application would be. I know it is a 2 barrel Holley 2300 series, model 4412 which is a 500 cfm. I have many 2300 carbs and have never seen one like this. Anyone know what it is for? Thanks guys.
