87 Monte SS

Man pm your stall converter rating, gear ratio, and what motor that was originally and I can get you right.

PM'd you fam.... I sent a couple links as well with all the specs and info. I just want to get a lil more out of it and figured those few parts would gain me a few more HP. I also have the new MSD 6AL2 box and MSD dizzy if that helps any. Just need to install it... The beasty motor will be for my Malibu when I find the right one :wink:

I'm in the shop now droppin the Tuff Stuff Brake booster/Master Cyl in. I bench bled the master cyl first, capped it off and installed it back onto the booster.... Gonna have to trim my washer motor cover a lil bit. The Tuff Stuff booster is larger in diameter...Its time to grind!!!

I'll get a few pics up in a minute. Taking a quick lil break to check the threads out and get a lil grub...

Thats what I love about being out here cuz "It never rains in southern California!" LOL! Thanks for checkin back...Gettin things done a lil at a time...

Got the Tuf Stuff booster/master cyl installed. Took just under 2 hours with bench bleeded it and all. That saved $200 right there!! Some of the work has to be done by shops I know. But a lot of it is just nuts and bolts. This is fun stuff and Im learning a ton. Only thing is that the car stays down a lil longer while I research and learn how to do whatever task it is..Its all good tho...Nuff talk. Pic time!!!

This came out of a friends 88 Monte SS. He had taken the wheel wells out and man!!! There was so much grime and surface rust. A lil Eagle 1 chrome cleaner spray and some Turtle wax and it came back to life..

I got the pulleys off the water pump and ordered a alternator fan. Sending the parts out to be chromed along with the braces and water pump (if they can rechrome the pump). Getting learnt up (lol) on motor upgrades now. I think I got a nice lil list of goodies to squeeze a few more ponies out the lil 350. Stay tuned...

Thanks bruh!! Really appreciate the comment and you checkin the thread out.

Ok. I havent been on the SS in a hot minute. Been working on my Elco's front/rear suspension rebuild. Imma newb so Im really taking my time and trying to get vids and stuff. I did roll to the big homie Poll's crib to grab these sweet 411 gears for my built Grand National rear. I have 3.73's, but I want to see how I'll like it with the 411's. I have a built 700 so I'm not worried about freeway probs cuz of the overdrive....

All I need to do is get the front fuel bowl rebuilt (stripped the bowl fuel line inlet) and I can get this bad boy on the road. Ive really been on the Elco lately so my SS has been just sitting up.....

Thanks for checkin back..

wow great job man

Thanks!!!

Bringin this back from the dead! Ok. Im back on the SS. I got a little lazy on him. Workin nights sucks. LOL! Dropped the carb off at the carb shop and it will be ready in the morn. I hadstripped the fuel bowl inlet badly. Only thing is that they done have a polished fuel bowl. Its all good tho. I gave that carb to Kuruption and he's not into the polished or chrome look. I'll use it while I save for the Ultra Street Avenger setup I want. I swapped the fitting on the fuel pump and ran some new rubber feul line. I need to get some an fittings for my trans cooler(I was messing with em and well messed em up) Oh well. Gotta learn about this stuff somehow. LOL! Goal is to get him started by the weekend if I can get the an fittings. Thats all that has been holding me back on gettin the old guy on the road. "Thats all!!" you might be saying. Yeah I know. Ive been seriously slacking on the SS. But Im on a roll now and I wanna keep the momentum goin. Car has been sitting for about 3 months. New motor has 1100 miles on it from the "break in" road trip to arizona and back. Checked the plugs and everythings lookin good. Anything I should be worried about before I start him up?

Got a 50 watt, 6000k HID kit and H-4 husings. Also doing some HID fogs. Few pics..
Buckets need to be aimed properly.

Sorry bout the glare. I snapped em right quick after work. Didnt set the camera up correctly for these kind of photos..

Added a painless hi/lo beam kit so I could run all 4 hids. Not needed but I wanted it for the shows. The hi bulb is warming up in this pic

LED for the plate...
