MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

[motorheadmike]

So there I was buttoning up a bunch of underhood stuff on the car, brackets, nuts and bolts, EVAP canister, hoses, intake, sensors, turbo blanket, etc and then I figured I should pop in the torque converter bolts.

Adapting an LS engine to a TH350/TH400 is not only possible, but quite easy to do. Read more to see how with lots of pics! I want to clear up some confusion here. I did A LOT of research on bolting the newer LS motor to the older style TH400 transmission during my swap, most […]

At least you don't have to pull the transmission.

Heh. No. Working on my honey do list. Just assembled the BBQ snow brush (because Canada), pool is draining, chopped up some trash, baiting traps, etc. Just keep walking past the cars grabbing tools... and keep getting sadder and sadder. LOL.

Cleaning up around the house, started going through some CD/DVDs, and found this gem from the early 2000s of my Monte spanking a GN.

We used to film with Vaseline covered potatoes back then...

Maybe he was too worried about recording with the big *ss camcorder and not mashing the go pedal

He failed to mention it was an 82 non turbo GN!!
