lovin this monte. wouldnt be surprised to see this in super chevy soon

Yes you are correct. I had a 454 in it last summer that i took out to put in a 72 el camino im building. The plans are once I sell the el camino that will leave me enough money finish building an all forged 461 with afr head and solid roller cam. So since the motor(327) was just sitting and the monte had no engine decided to drop it in meantime. Ill get pics for you guys

Thanks for the info, i will measure the the trans and dig up some pics to see if we can Id it.

hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. So the monte has a 327/700r4 in it right now but . Its a combo my dad bought to put in his ford but i've convinced him otherwise. The motor runs great but he wants me to have it in my car so when i sell the motor the buyer can start the motor and drive the car to see what he is buying Anyhow, I was wondering if one of you guys that has a 700r4 in their car could tell me the driveshaft length from yoke to yoke.. I want to see if I can get a driveshaft that will just slide in. thanks guys! also if you can point me in the direction of the correct brackets to use on edly carb that would be great too

there ya go i got to learn how to do that.

hey gang havnet been in here for a while but I found a cool way to find a bunch of monte carlo SS.. allofcraigs.com and just type in the magic words... heres a sneak peak, copy and paste this and grab a cup of coffee http://www.allofcraigs.com/2009/07/search-all-craigslist-sites-at-once.html?cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&newwindow=1&q=1970+monte+carlo+ss&cx=partner-pub-9413604915893153%3Ao8xsd8d7h7s&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_q=.&as_qdr=a&as_epq=&as_eq=&sa.x=0&sa.y=0

well if ur racing the car the choice gets real easy. If the price seems right for you then even better. I have read though that a few people that have done this conversion stated the fenders needed a bit work to get to fit. I will tell you this, I have a glasstek front bumper and it fits great, alot folks here have glasstek hoods and they also fit great so that should tell you a little about there quality

get the th400.... then get a good driveshaft and you are good to launch hard.

i dont of any that are free and good, but i'm on my 2nd year of norton..there was a lapse of 2 months where i decided i didnt need it and my computer started getting super slow and doing all kinds of worng things. but then i again I can never not click on a porn link long story short, get norton

how much was it?? if ya dont mind me asking?

yeah that looks like 3.5" of backspace. the edge of the rim pretty much lines up with the brake drum. this is what 4.5" backspace looks like

I think you would be better off shortening your axle. Its about $200 or less to get it done. I'm doing this to my car cause I got a great deal on moser axles with c-clip eliminators but for the shorter 12 bolt that uses 29.5" axles. If you do this then you can shorten your axle between .5" to 1" but you will have to get the axles splined to go 1". Again this is a way to do it for less, but the best way is to just get the right wheels

8 point roll bar is all you need sir.

that is so cool, i want one

Let me know what pump you get and how it works for you. I myself will be in the market for one to replace my stock with. Looking to see if I could get a mechanical that will support the motor and another 5psi for the nitrous

I have a 70 bumper from glass tek and the holes for the turn signals still need to be cut out, which i will do, but if you didnt want to a little bondo would make it level and it would look correct for your 72,,,but if your getting a discount on the one from andreas, get it and just get a 70 grille

especially with COMP CAMS

Nicely done

do you have pictures of your roll cage? I been thinking of putting one right now before I get the interior back in...Looking at 6 or 8 point.

Looks good...But I would advise to ditch the chrome t-stat...The hose wont fit right on it and they are prone to rust and leak...Get oem GM or similar, trust me..I think alot of the guys here have learned the same thing... By the way, what cam are you running? I think the 770 might be overkill If you dont have a cam that requires that size..

I would bolt it to the a-pillar if I had to...Would get a small tach as well..no bigger then 3"

i used fiberglass bondo in three layers over a week to restore the wheel in my 57 ford and it came out good.

anyone else thinking of getting a 4l80e with full manual reverse valvebody . you can hook some switches up to manually get the converter to lockup as well as od...this is the last thing i want to get done after I race the snot outta my th400
