    Thinking of abandoning my project

    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...

    Monte Carlo or 442

    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...

    Bias Ply Tires

    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...

    U-Joint Removal?

    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.

    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!

    Repairing the bottom of the doors

    I just got done pulling the chrome trim of my 84 Monte. I have done a pretty good job cleaning up the car and the only rough spots are the bottom of the doors. The passenger door is better than the driver's but they are both almost completely rotted through at the very bottom. I know this is...

    450hp Exhaust Set Up

    I'm coming up on the finishing touches of my LT1 swap and I am trying to decide on what exhaust system to run. According to other people with similar builds, I should put down 375rwhp (or ~460 @ the crank assuming 18% drivetrain loss). I've got a pair of used Hooker Super Comps on the way...

    12 bolt swap... what sway bar?

    I don't have the 12 bolt in the car yet and I have an opportunity to get a rear sway bar off of an SS. Will this fit? I know that the 12 bolt is wider but will the LCAs be the same distance?
