Re: November G-body of the month! (Monte Carlos)
Here's my 86 Monte SS. Has a rebuilt Goodwrench 350 4-bolt main block. Also has an Edelbrock carb w/polished intake, Vortec heads, mild Jegs street cam, Flowtech headers with true duals. transmission is a TH350 with a shift kit for crisper shifts.
Next year will be interior items and weatherstripping. Thinking about adding digital gauges.

I'll throw my hat in this month, after all it's an all out Monte Month...I bought my '84 Monte four years ago as an E-Bay find from Virginia for $2100.00 It had a tired old 305 sbc with 200k on the clock with bench seats....When I bought it I planned on making it a street rod..It now has a 388 Stroker motor with a 700r4 transmission, 3200 PTC converter with a '69 Chevelle 12 bolt rear with 4.10 gears..Ran a best of 12.47 @109 mph a few months ago. I recently had it re-painted with the stock color and added a goodmark 2" cowl hood and also a SS spoiler on the rear....Here's a link to the paint job: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27233
