632BBC on my Monte 88

[wpayano420]

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice on building my Monte as an pro street car. I'm working hard saving a lot of money; my reason for wanting to put a 632 on my Monte is because I love the power that it has and I want what I want. My questions are do I need a K-member? What turn-key engine company should I go with? and because the 632 is big, what shocks do you guys recommend? And any other opinions you guys have? Thank you

Our cars don't even have K members....

Why a 632? Thats a hell of an engine that's gonna need a hell of a transmission, rear end, fuel system, ignition system, chassis, etc to go with it....

You're gonna need way more than shocks like mentioned above

What's the info on your car? What is already done and what do you have the means to do?

I am curious what kind of budget you have to work with since once you purchase the engine (minimum $12.000) you will need a built trans and rearend to handle the power and because of the size of the engine and taller deck height you will need a custom header and exhaust system.
You will also need a healthy ignition and fuel system for your 800+ horsepower along with suspension and frame upgrades.
Also are you doing all the work yourself or do you have to budget for labor costs also?

A lot of work to make a g-body work right with that power it will need to come apart before it can go together and I mean like body off box rails build cage kind of work don't get me wrong I'd love to see it in a build thred but it's a lot of work

Thank you for the reply 83montess, well a good friend of mine had a 632 in he's Camaro and it ran very; I can still feel the power still this day. The car now is fully strip and getting ready to take it to a chassis place to reinforce the chassis.

Thank you for the fast reply guys, my budget for the engine is $15k.

What about for the rest of the car?

What about for the rest of the car?

For the car I was thinking about 17K, I know this project is going to take a while. But I am committed on this project and on the car; this car means a lot to me.

Have you done anything to the car in preparation for this kind of power?
Are you doing everything yourself or is there going to be a labor cost coming out of your $32,000 proposed budget?

And so you know there is no such thing as too much information about the car and your plans and parts lists etc.that you can give us.
Many of us have already done everything you are about to do.
