It's a pump gas 498 that made 670 HP at the crank.Took a 454 block,bored .070" over & added a 4.250" crank in place of the factory stroke at 4.000"
I still use my GM cast iron square port closed chambered heads.It has a custom Ross piston in it,that makes 10.2to1 compression.The heads are bowl...
Well the motor is back in the Monte Carlo as of the end of April.I ran it for the first time this year at Cecil County Dragway back on June 30th...we had a half way cool-temp night for a change.It ran like it did last year...which is a good thing.I've seen motors rebuilt & slow up sometimes.I...
Got the Monte Carlo back about a week ago.Had a buddy put a 10 point chromoly roll cage in it.Then another buddy painted it silver,the color of the car.The cage turned out pretty nice.We put a bar crossways between the frame rails in the rear passenger area of the floor.It made a nice place to...
I'm hoping for 11.00 range on motor...if it goes 11.50's I'll be sick,if it goes like 10.80's I'll be really really happy.It's a pump gas 468,with a 715 lift solid roller cam.Nothing trick,just looks cool with the fogger.Hope it runs low low 10's on spray,and a high 9 wouldn't hurt my...
you are correct,sir!
Yep always worked on them parked by the curb...that was till September..my buddy rents me this spot in his building for $100 a month....I'm in heaven down there...he has heat,a welder,and it never rains inside...LOL! Now I'm spoiled,going back to curb will be tuff! :wink:
Was test firing my new fogger last night.Here's a link to a photobucket video.

Today I'm going to wire it up properly through the trans brake & a digital retard box.
Put the intake back on with the NEW Cold Fusion fogger.
Got my 6" cowl hood on .........finally!
Installed a 1 gallon fuel cell for my fogger.Just picked up some fittings today.I'll get it hooked up this week/weekend.I still need to wire up my digital retatd box,nos switch,fuel pump,and trans...
Chevelle 12 bolt
Not sure if this is much help...but...this may let you know what not to do as well.I have a 70 Chevelle 12 bolt I had narrowed to fit my 86 Monte Carlo.
The G body is 58 inches from axel flange to axel flange.I thought I'd do my self a favor and shorten the rear to be 1 inch...
put a 454 in it
If it were me,I'd put a 454 in it.You can easily make 500HP on pump gas and drive it without much hassle.With cast iron heads you can run 10.5to1 on 93 octane,and with aluminum heads as high as 11.25to1 on 93 octane.Maybe higher if you run like a 270/280 duration @ .050...
86SS Monte Carlo
Here's my 86 SS monte Carlo I picked up back in may.I traded a running 307/powerglide powered 69 Chevelle 4dr hdtop for this body as a roller.
Been working on it ever since.Dropped in my fresh 468.Put in a turbo 400 with Coan valvebody/trans brake & Coan Converter.The car...
Been buying up used stuff for my Monte..#1 reason I'm a cheap guy..LOL! #2 reason,I ain't rich!
Bought a set of Bogarts for the rear off of racingjunk,they look like Aluma Stars.Bought a set of HOOSIERS 29x11.5's off a guy used that were like new,and a set of front CRAGAR 15x3.5 wheels that...
Fuel pump noise and location
The biggest reason you see my pump mounted where it's at,is because it was simple.All the fittings have it fairly secure,but I did run a bracket from the pump up to the gas tank strap to hold it more secure.I see you have a Holley pump on your car.It seems no matter...
headers
I bought them used.They are Hooker Headers.
They fit the Malibu's & Monte Carlos 1978-87 ,and G body's with Chevrolet BBC in them.
They have the black painted ones in JEGS.

I'm in the process of building my first G body car.Right now I'm wiring up everything.Running relays on my 2 fuel pumps and running wires.Need to wire up my timing computer,t-brake,and nitrous.I'll move to the back of the car soon.I've got a Chevelle 12 bolt I'm going to cut to the stock G body...
here's those 2 pics I mentioned.I'm the guy leaning on the engine crane is me..back around 1989.The good looking chic was my girlfriend Sharon.That girl could drive!She could flat shift that 55 at 7000 like a pro..GOD I MISS HER..LOL!
