Don't touch the internals, especially if it runs fine. There are plenty of things to do before that. In this order... K&N Filter, dual plane intake, 1 5/8" headers, 2.5 exhaust, 3.73 gears + posi and 2500-3000 converter. This is the recipe for a quick car, regardless of cubes. It's amazing...

And it might very well end up that way. Personally, I don't think that it is rough enough to need parted out. If anyone is interested in a fairly solid, but stripped out roller, shoot me a PM.

Man I would let it go for WAY less than that. Telling you, if that 86 checks out, this thing needs to be gone.

Almost 50 views and not one comment? Come on guys. Let me guess, not enough info or pictures.

I've been slowly losing momentum on my LT1 swap. Haven't really touched it a a few months. I was hoping to get it done by the end of the year, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen with my work schedule, current motivation level and daily driver problems I've been fighting with. I...

After lots of consideration, I'm gonna keep the Monte. My main reasons are... 1) The monte is clean (enough). Good paint, straight and has some cancer areas but nothing that can't be fixed. 2) The monte is already pretty stripped. HVAC delete, rear seat delete, radio delete, 500 total lbs...

Damn. Unanimous decision. I really hope the 442 is as clean as the guy claims, then I'd be rolling in one again instead of staring at my garage queen. Hopefully, pics will be soon to follow!

Haha! Yes, I am crazy or yes do it?

To whom it may concern, I have been chipping away at my LT1/T56 swap into my 84 Monte Carlo LX for about a year now. The car is pretty clean (good silver paint job, nice maroon rag top, all original interior parts, good glass etc.) but has some rust (rusted out bottom of doors, rusted...

I am trying to decide which tires to get for my Monte Carlo. Leaning toward 26-12.5-15 Sportsman Pros. This car will be 80% street 20% strip. Couple of questions... 1. They say that they are DOT approved, but I am sure that it is basically just a slick with squiggly lines on it. Does...

Duh, I don't know how to get these u-joints out of the driveshaft cause they don't have any snap rings. Look... Anybody know the best way to get these out? It is out of a 70 camaro if that helps.

Little off topic, I am looking for a 12 bolt with a steeper gear. I found a 12 bolt out of a 70 nova w/ 4.88s and a spool, which is a little slimer and is set up for leaf springs. Could I bolt on spring perches to this rear and run it in a G-body? Does anybody know if there are shock mounts on...

I'm a little late on this one, but stock 84 Monte seats weigh 40lbs even a piece. Just shipped them out last week.

86g, post pics of that setup, I am curious to see how they tuck. I've been drooling over 18x9.5 ZO6 wheels that I think might work with the right adaptors. I know that they'll fit my 12 bolt but up front is too close to call.

Not done yet, but the swap hasn't been to bad. Got an 55K engine, trans, PCM/wiring for $500 out of a friends B-body. You'll need a tbi/gnx gas tank and run custom lines. LT1s don't have a water pump pulley so you'll need electric fans (82-92 F-body fans practically bolt right in). You'll...

I'm running a 12-bolt rear with a 4l60e (same a 700r4) trans. 69 Camaro driveshafts should fit perfect. It is 50" between u-joint centers when I measured my car and the 69 Camaro (TH350 equipped) is 49.75". Haven't got it yet, but according to my measurements it should go right in.

This is a long shot, but has anyone seen Eddie and the Cruisers Part II? It's a horrible movie about a rockstar that couldn't handle the fame so he faked his death. But now he wants to write music again, but struggles the entire movie form another band by recruiting talented musicians around...

Since I have all winter to finish my LT1 swap, I've decided to put in a cage and clean up my interior. How do you like my dash? Radio Delete / HVAC Delete / Z06 inspired. Just 20 hours of fiberglass work to go!

Nevermind. Sphon's got 'em but I don't have a TIG. Mild Steel it is!

Who sells chromoly roll cages for G-Bodies? I can only seem to find mild steel ones for-sale online, but I've seen chromoly ones before. Looking for a basic 8-point kit. Are these custom our something?
