[71 402 4-Speed (Anybody Remember This Car)]

I also remember the story Rob, what comes around goes around.

[Kinda popped the question]

Congratulations to you both!

Its a press fit item. I had to use a small amount of JB weld on mine to hold it in place. 

Thank you!

I went to check the oil and the tube pulled out.  What holds it in place? 

[Taking my 71SS to the next level....]

Excellent job!

Excellent job, beautiful car!

[Passenger side mirror]

Ordered my passenger side mirror from Ausley's and should arrive on Friday. I will be using the tutorial from Bruce to help me with the install.  Thanks Bruce!

Welcome aboard, sweet car!

 

[SS Trim]

Hi All. I believe they sell repo rear trim pieces for the 71 SS.  Has anyone put these on a 70? Just curious if it's an easy install.

Thanks,Don

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

Just received my order for two parking light assemblies from the Parts Place.   Has anyone installed theses?  Are they happy with them?  They look great.

[True SS?]

Couldn't verify to be a true SS.

 

[Vin # question]

Did any plant start there sequence with a 2?

Thanks guys!

 

[New Guy Here]

Wow!!!  Is it for sale lol...  Such a great thread and I'm so glad I stumbled on it.  The amount of work in such a short period is incredible, it's beautiful and sounds amazing.  Keep the pictures coming because I'm sure we all can't wait to see it finished.  BEAUTIFUL car!

Looking for thoughts on 2.73 gears on a weekend cruiser.

[Vin # question]

The sequence is B200779 so Baltimore would be the plant.  If this is a high production number an example of low would be?

[Vin # question]

The Vin # on my Monte Carlo is 200779.  Is this a low production car or high? What does the 2 mean if the numbers start with 1?

[True SS?]

Should there be a Vin next to the CRN suffix?  I thought there would be.

 

 

[71 SS]

Any more progress on this build?

 

[W code]

Sorry for the delay .  After speaking with the owner the motor came out of a 72 Elcamino SS.

 

[W code]

Thanks Guys!  What's a fair price? Long block sitting for quite a while but does turn.

 

[W code]

Yes, I believe it is CRX.  Would 72 be a 2 bolt main or a 4bolt?  

[W code]

I'm looking at a 72 454 would the code on the deck be CPX?  Also is the W on the deck in the vin?

 

[My '70 SS454 build]

That car is beautiful!

[Some great assembly line photos]

Great pictures,thanks for sharing!
