I doubt that. My son and I did a mixed metal scrap run a few weeks ago. 600lbs = 21.00. Lol don't really scrap for money, just get rid of the clutter.

I have said it. Lol. My moms first and only car was a Baltimore built 70 Monte. 350 2bbl, th350, bench cloth interior. Fiber optic washer and a/c. Cranberry red, black top and interior. Full top and no under light chrome. I have the build sheet somewhere I believe. Now I have to look for it to see when it was built.

Sweet! Great pics! Thank you for sharing.

Normal. The old filter will not be the same color as the new filter. Dirt, contaminants etc discolor the oil which, discolors the filter that traps all the junk.

Time for parts always works for me! Lol

Same here with "Barn Find". She was ordered with the P02 hubcap option. Although right now I have the Corvette style on her.

Knew I saw the car somewhere recently. Nice car but for that money I want the correct seat covers, a 70 steering wheel, not a 71 and the drivers remote mirror instead of the cheapie ones that don't hold their adjustment. Just saying...

Sometimes, when in "race" mode I put billet specialties wheels on "Big Red".

This I know Dennis. ❤️ Ya man!

Like Larry said, only the SS could be had with a 454. The biggest engine for a non-SS Monte Carlo was the 402. 8633 examples of the 402 Monte were produced AND you could also get a 4speed 402 car but NOT a SS454 4speed. Although you could option a non-SS with the same options as an SS except the Z20 package that made it an SS. The 454 and the badging basically.

At least it was a GM product. 🤣😂🤣😂

Obviously 50+more cubic inches automatically means more torque and HP right off the bat. If the 402 is numbers matching, making 400 HP is not hard. But also like Joe, you could put the 402 on the side if eventually you want to go back to numbers matching or if you sell the car, you could give the next owner that option and possibly get more money for it with the original engine.

I agree 💯%

Welcome Shawn! Pics?!? Lol. Also, to what Joe said, if you are lucky the vin should be stamped into the transmission case. Also, you can look, but no Flint car has been found to have the build sheet anywhere. 😢

99.00 plus shipping, one had deep scratches. Auction just went off. Maybe the seller will post again.

Coilovers are a shock coil combo. No spring compressor needed. Depending on whose set up you purchase, check with them as to fitting stock arms. They should. The spring sits on adjusters that screw onto the body of the shock giving you the height adjustability.

Sorry, I disagree. Both sets of tubular arms are heavier than the factory arms and the alignment benefits are marginal at best.

Personally, after installing tubular arms on Big Red and my son's 69 GTO convertible I wouldn't do it again. Both sets are off of eBay, one has the grease fittings for the lower arms on top towards the chassis making it almost impossible to grease in the future. Be aware of the fitting location. The ball joints are eighhh at best and the boots for the ball joints almost immediately start to crack and disintegrate. I would and have used moog bushings and ball joints, purchased from RockAuto (very cheap prices) for these parts and rebuild what you have. Just, if you do go this route, make sure which lower bushings you have. Round or oval or even a mix. I do recommend a front coil over conversion. You can adjust your ride height to wherever you like. Just my .02

Sincerest condolences to the family and friends. They are in my prayers. 😢

Happy and healthy New Year to all!

Lol don't remember but most 70s heads, especially big blocks can use either.

I usually use r45ts in big Red but I had a set of r44s "in stock" that I installed for Carlisle and will be changing back to the slightly hotter r45ts or maybe the rapid fire.

I have used the rapid fire plugs. They are supposed to be a step up from stock and between platinum plugs I believe. I have used them on 350s and LS engines. They have worked well for me.

Definitely not an SS but a very nice car. My son had an octane red 2018 scat pack charger, very pretty color. The pic doesn't do the color justice.

Sorry, same here.
