  1. What would be involved to replace my 350 turbo with a late model 6 speed auto trans. I have a 2:73 gear I have a Tahoe with the 6 speed and it has a low 1st gear ratio I believe 4.03 to 1

    the Tahoe has a 308 gear but the tranny pulls the almost 3 ton beast very well

  2. A neighbor of mine has a late model Tahoe painted Victory red it was not a regular production color, he bought it used and just thinks its an average garden variety Tahoe. I know some fleet orders have many choices not offered to the public,

  3. I've seen GM build many so called prototypes some were just ideas they followed through with never intended to go into production. I remember a few years ago Barrett Jackson had a run of these cars all sold with no titles

    one was a 1996 full size SS with a 502 engine, maybe they snuck a few Montes out the same way back then.

  4. Just check it out carefully for rust

    especialy the heads.

    The block should have the freeze

    plugs removed and given a thorough

    cleaning. They have a tendency to ingest

    sand and or mud I have brought many "sinkers"

    back to life after being completely under.

  5. Roger Penske had a Chevy dealership in Philadelphia in the 60's

    70's he had all the good stuff there in the showroom

    LS 6'S in any model they were available in, Z28's what color do you want?

    He was well respected by GM and got what ever he wanted from them

    I felt like a kid in a candy store when I went in there

    If I only knew then what I know now

  6. I spent a weekend with a friend of mine at Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Mich, back in 1969. Went to Berger Chevrolet and saw a aluminum big block Camaro in the showroom for a sticker price of over $6K. Little did I know then what today would be. Also, there was a Pontiac dealer in Cincinnati that stuffed 428ci motors into GTOs as a dealer option like the Yenkos. Went to an all Pontiac show years ago & stumbled into the rare 428 GTO and learned something of its history. But, memory has faded somewhat, but I do remember number of 428 GTO I saw at that show.

    I switched out the engine in my 65 GTO way back then

    to a 421, tri power and all, it looked to the untrained eye

    like the 389 but fooled them all when the time came.

    [not going to say light to light]it's illegal!

  7. Is there enough clearence to the firewall to use an HEI distributor I have a complete HEI system, didn't try it , but just judging it may be close. I have a stock 350/300 Car is on jackstands for the winter going through maintenance and up grades, Reduction gear starter, r and r exhaust recoat manifolds replace heat stove parts, new spark plug heat sheilds,heat riser, change engine , trans and gear oil.

    Found out it has a 2.78 gear

    Thanks
