Got some pictures! Let me know if you see why I may be having an issue, hump doesn't even wanna sit on the tunnel due too the base of the shifter sticking up so high

Hey Sam, that one would work for a bench, I checked application it won't work for a centre console I need a handle that curves too the right kinda looks like the one in the link from opgi may be the right one. Says it's for a centre console

Well now that I figured out how too post pictures I think I'm going too upload my progression over the past years of me picking away at this car. Any advice along the way would be much appreciated

Ha ya figured it out ok I'll take a picture of my setup tomorrow

Nice right up Kelly! My hump is the same one and it is shaped too fit the tunnel it's hard too mess up but looming online looks lime I may have the wrong shifter and handle fml lol. 200 bucks I didn't have too spend.... The one I have comes straight up off the left side of tranny looks like original hangs over too the right? http://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1970/drivetrain/shifters/C210040/ http://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1970/drivetrain/shifters/C210041/ Looks like I need these 2 things?

So I whent too a 4spd in my restoration used too be a auto. I bought the 4spd hump http://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1970/sheet-metal-body-panels/floor-pans/A62551C/ Having trouble with fitment. The hump only really sits one place not much for adjustment. Shifter seems way off. It's too far too the left anyone do a conversion that has advice? I'm doing console so I bought the hump required for the console

I'm in the tri cities. I'm actually from Waterloo ontario. Just got the body sat everything worked out and whent well looks great

Ya I used that on my frame seems too be good quality, it better be for the price of it lol

I will forsure!! Tomorrow's the big day so excited! Never thought I'd see the body back on the frame.

So what's the point of cars having a 90 or 45 or a 15?

It does not unless there are different types of Duplicolour which is definately possible. I'm probably getting too anal about the car. Frame offs are not cheap I now realize lol. This car makes me feel like I have ocd lol

Hey I'm just wondering I painted my engine gm orange a year ago and have been finishing up putting parts on it. Seems like everytime I bump it with something hard like my headers it chips so frustrating. Engine was hot tanked and everything so it was nice and clean. I feel like this shouldn't be happening but heard guys say it's hard too get any paint too adhere too cast blocks. Also been told had too get run and get got too cure paint.any guys have experience with this? I'm not taking everything apart at this point was just curious

So I picked up a thermostat housing for my 454. The guy at the speed shop said it should be a 45 degree, but doesn't look right. My buddy has a 68 Camaro with a bbc and has his on a 90 and says mine should be. Does anyone know what the 70 454 had stock?

Ha sorry boots, I didn't realize, I'm on a lot of forums lately asking questions I forgot about that... Sorry

Hey guys, so I km putting my body on the frame this weekend and was going over my body mount bushing kit. My car was originally a 350 so I ordered the kit from opgi but I now have a 454 in it so I ordered the extra bushings for the bbc. Does anyone know where these extra bushings are supposed too go?

It's looking like shortys may be a little less headache in a hooker or a headman

So is your car auto or 4spd and it is a big block? Did you use long tube or shortys?

It's not looking lime it but I'll check em out a little more

I could see having too relocate that don't overly want too but... So mine is also a 4 spd so I have a shift fork.... And you didn't hit the lower control arm? Just wanna make sure second times a charm

I know there's a header subject ready started and I don't want too hijack it. I have a 70 monte with a 1970 ls5 454 with original oval port heads. I just pickup flowtech ceramic header for it he couldn't find anything specifically for my car so we whent with Chevelle. They do not fit, passenger side hits control arm drivers side look lime it will do the same thing and both seem even if they worked will run right into the tranny crossmember. They are longtube. Anyone have experience with this? Would love peoples 2 cents you guys are really helpful

hey guys I have a 454 that has just been rebuilt and essentially need everything that is bolt on for it, its a 1970 454 ls5 if anyone has a bunch of stuff they would like too sell as a package or ill even buy things individually let me know
