Well I am bringing my Monte SS that is currently not running, into a local shop to get some work done. Here's the list (minus a few little things I may have forgotten)
406ci installed with big heads and cam
Electric Fan
1 7/8 Heddman Hustler Long Tube Headers
750 Holley Double Pumper Carb
Victor Junior High Rise Intake
700r4 trans with 3 thousand stall (small stall for now, going up to 4400 soon enough though)
custom crossmember from Jegs Peformance
Neoprene Trans Mount
Custom Driveshaft installed
Custom True Dual Exhaust 2.5 inch with X pipe Setup. Over the rear axle (or dumped before rear axle and turndowns.) message the floor boards to tuck up high.
DynoMax Ultra Flo 16 inch mufflers
Koni Single Adjustable Shocks front and rear installed
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs front and rear installed
Some small electrical work to get the tail lights up and running as well as headlights
Window motors (both are shot)
I bought this car from Iowa about 6-7 months ago and it had a running but hurt 305 motor and a hurt 200R4 trans. The body was primered yellow and in good shape. The interior was in nice shape, especially since it is from 1985. Only the headliner was faded but in good condition.
I had totalled my last 85 Monte (broadsided a pole drivers side, the whole car bent in a U and the fire department had to cut me out of the car. Totaled. So I took out my old setup (406 and 700r4) which ran HARD and swapping it into this ss.
I plan on doing the interior with a modern interior and maybe light tan leather with a suede insert. And do the dash vinyl or leather. Probably vinyl. And do the door panels light leather with a suede insert as well.
I am trying to build this car for creature comfort but can run low 11's as well. I know the shocks are a bid hard but I have had them in my Camaro's and understand the kidney buster concept real well. But nothing beats the "right stance".
This project will take a very long time and a very looong check I am sure of. But in the end I want to make the car a show car. (dont we all? lol).
I intend on painting the car an Escalade White color or a house of kolors white. But that wont be for some time. Ill keep her primered (I sanded it down so now it is smoother but a hellova lot uglier lol!)
Ill post pictures and see if I can get video of the exhaust when the car comes back. I am sure it will take 3-4 weeks before I get it back.
Pray she comes out well!
