Ill pay close attention to this thread, im planning on the same swap, ill be using an lt1 t56 and keep it mechanical and use the pedals from a chevelle for a factory fit. Check out this link( http://www.hurst-drivelines.com/?page_id=2722 )they sell tunnel kits and other stuff you may need.

Just lookes up the cpp on opgi so that's the one im getting thanks bigscaht

Thanks Sam, I guess im worrying about it too much smh.

Bad part is I bought the hooker headers 2455

Sorry I meant to put this under suspension but clicked on the wrong tab link

Hey guys im trying to get pointed into the right direction, what proportional valve do you guys recommend for a front disc and rear drum 1972 monte carlo, ive looked at so many that I'm lost now lol. Im doing a sbc to bbc swap and I want to relocate the proportional valve for header clearance. Also does anyone know if the column shifer assembly will have clearance issues with a bbc with headers? Thanks!!

Just a little update of small things I've done over the winter. Ive relocated the battery to the trunk on the passenger rear and ran the 0 gauge wire thru the inside and drilled a 3/4 hole on the floor pan to run the wire out from a pre existing whole. Ive removed the heater and ac components from the fire wall and ordered a Detroit Speed a body heater/ac delete panel and assembly my vortec 454. I played around with the idea of using my electric dual fans from my ls1 fbody the keep the bbc cool. Flickr Flickr Flickr Flickr Flickr

BowtieThunder: Dang that is rough lol your car is a beast now so it was well worth it. Thanks for the welcomes There are a lot of beautiful MC on here hope to learn a lot from you guys. For now my goal is to have a beater looking Monte Carlo to run 13.0-13.5 for the Texas muscle car club challenge thats consistent for bracket racing

Haha yeah it is pretty rough, car was sitting in a garage since 1988, lucky for me the car came with all the parts, previous owner took off the bumpers and etc to paint it but never got around to it and time flew by him and many years passed. It has under 53,000 miles and the interior is all there all it needed was a cleaning. I got it running as well no misses or funny noises. The reason for the differnt color hood and driver fender is because the originals had small dings on them and the guy who had it also had 5 other monte carlos from 70-72 that he aquire through out the years that we would use for parts for the monte I now own

Finally decided to join after lurking around the site for info for my 1972 Monte Carlo. Plans for it is to swap out the 350sbc for a stock vortec 454 with a carb set up and headers. Hoping to get the weight down to about 3600-3700 lbs without driver, I know the added weight of the Big Block aint going to help much lol
