my 83 monte build up

[Monte83]

Last night, we put the body on the chassis for a test fit. We needed to see if we need to go with full or mini tubs. mini tubs it is. The tires fit perfect.

It appears that you're building a pro street car with an LS series engine. Is that right? It looks pretty good so far.

make sure you anticipate how much a slick grows when you spin it.

So, are you going to keep the TH 350 or go with something more modern with an overdrive? What are you going to do for an exhaust, headers or manifolds? What engine management are you running?

TH 300 or 400, not sure yet.
