  1. Happy Easter everyone! Many of you may recognize the 71 Monte Carlo that my son purchased as being one that my brother 714024speed had. Well now we decided with the self isolation to work on it. Mind you, this was a running and driving car with a target master 350 engine and Jasper th350 engine. Bother of which have less than 1500 miles on them. It now is going to have a 355 with a roller cam, th400, and 2 1/2 in dual exhaust that "WE" have in stock that was originally slated to be put into this Monte eventually. Well, here's eventually... Lol

  2. Looks good Tom, and son, lol I also thought I knew everything when I was in my 20's but now I am older and I forgot a lot, so I actually know less. lol Hey Mark, I say the same thing when they say "in stock". But they always seem to have it, and I witnessed it, THEY DO!!!!!

  3. The A/C box wasn't the pain for me, the header configuration made it difficult for me to get a good angle with the socket to install the spark plug from the top. And i'm a little over nervous not trying to cross thread something in the aluminum heads lol. Tightening the plug is still a pain from the top even as Joe mentioned with (what I call the wobble socket adapter) and and extension, just not a lot of room but it is doable. In the last few days I have bruises I have no idea how I got and sore muscles along with cuts on my hands and arms. But I will say this is a great learning experience for me being my first engine swap. Not to mention i'm learning a ton about my Monte in the process.

  4. I think all of those Monte's should be coming to the 2020 Eastern Meet in Carlisle. rob

  5. Tom's son my nephew is no stranger to American muscle thank God. At the age of 18 I gave him my 69 LeMans convertible that I have owned for 20+years. Here is a picture of it last week when we put the "in stock M22" trans into it. He is also the main driver of our 9second 84 caviler....... he's a good kid thank God.

  8. With the starter in it will be a PIA again. That's why I removed the a/c box and installed a box that let me access the plugs and still have heat. Most of my a/c parts were missing to begin with.

  14. Absolutely, it was a joint effort. Thankyou also Keith and Vaughn for your encouragement, time and trouble. Going out in the bitter cold Keith to take numerous pictures and describe every detail. I thankyou so much for that. My sons are so happy for me and they will help me to maintain her to stay as beautiful as the day I got her.
