ILUVMYMONTE

so what initially happened to this car for it to be "saved"?? ive always wondered where this car went and the story on it.

thanks larry will do! once again appreciate your time!

thanks for the reply larry im definately going to get an ls5. when i posted this i didnt even know about the ss leo had i was instead getting a 70 from him, but when he told me about the ss thats the route im going for sure. although it wont be numbers matching have a date correct block is the next best thing imo too.

yeh my built 402 sucked ALOT of gas with that 850 double pumper

i would get one. just talked to leo today and probably going to get his 71 ss 454 and he mention thats one thing i will need.

thank you andreas again. now the wheels are spinning even faster in my head lol.

to hint back on the ls3, im addicted to this motor from what ive read about it....its a really bad [you said a naughty!] motor and you can turbo it stock wich ive always dreamed of a twin turbo muscle. i would obviously buy the motor first and turbo later has anyone seen a twin turbo monte?

i checked out that ls3 it is badass...hmmmm

thanks for all the replys, i didnt take in consideration of the warranty with gm. andreas, would there be aloit of modifying involved in putting that engine in a monte? and do the firewalls differ from a monte that had originally a big block to those that have a small block?

but classy at the same time.

well. haha. definately not stock my last motor was supposed to be around 650-700 hp i want big torque. and definately will be doing the suspension. im not sure what they call these cars but i would say around same hp/torque. 410 gears. hotchkis suspension. the works. gonna do the march perf. pulleys etc.fast and flashy i guess you would call it.

well, i heard these are garbage any opinions ill be in the market for a 454 soon sooooooooooooo if this was your chance to buy a new engine and had a 8k budget for a motor what route would you go(doesnt nesssarily have to be a 454)also my 402 was the orginal to the car are these desirable?

yeh i just talked to leo i might just buy some really nice fenders. hes gonna call me in the am. thanks for your feedback

where would be the best website to order these from. I do bodywork and restoration for a living so im not to worried if they are a little bit off, but i would like to find the ones that fit up nicely right off the bat. anyone have any experience with these?

lol! thats my girlfriend shes an odd one haha im gonna talk to the junkyard guy tomorrow ill send you a message with his number after im sure he wont have a problem been busy with moving.

thank you jared that interior is definately staying i found a passanger door and some trim i needed at a monte carlo junkyard i found. check out my post in the monte carlo general forum. and yeh mo this car has been touched before someone put hacked patches on the qp on the wheel well lip intbetween the door and wheel well, then another hacked patch in the bottom of the qp right in front of the bumper but im going to put new qp's skins on. cant wait till my monte is done its been a while. thanks for your support.

mind you this is a vinyl top car/ 402 matching number cars

well it looks like i hit the monte carlo lotto, with my roof not so much with my qp's. i do autobody and restoration for a living so ill be doing the complete restoration. these are my first pictures and any suggestions will help thanks for any and all help!
