Possibly, I'll check again here soon.

Hey all, I always knew I had a 12 bolt but I never knew the detailed specs on it...I'm trying to order new wheels and see how big a tire I can get away with! I cleaned it up today and had a look and found the code on the axle. CKO 0610B2 I've searched high and low across the internet for deciphering the 12 bolt codes and I can't find anything that mine responds to. Nor do I know if it's pre-1970 or after. I have 3.73 gears and a spool rear end if that helps. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply! Thanks to everyone for the advice...I cut that tab off of the trans mount and it slotted right in. I bought 2 polyurethane engine mounts and replaced the very dead and old steel mounts that were currently in there. Drive shaft is straight again. Many thanks again, don't know what I would do without you guys sometimes!

Howdy. I have a problem with my driveshaft. I had the Monte up on the lift when I noticed my driveshaft was leaning to the left by perhaps 2 inches and was not centered properly. It is nearly rubbing against the underside of the car. The transmission mount is about to fall to pieces and I got a new one that looks exactly like this I tried to put it in (I have a TH350/350 combination) but it seems to small in width to fit, and I don't know how that pin on the front is supposed to fit? My first question is, is this the right mount? Secondly, what would cause the driveshaft to be out of alignment like that, perhaps the motor mounts? That's all I can think of. It wouldn't be the pinion angle because that only adjusts vertically, not horizontally? I don't have pictures as of yet, may get some soon. Thanks again, Rich

Here's mine! Needs tuning badly, but here it is.

Sounds good! I got 12" cherry bombs (3" dia) on my 70 with a 355. I love them! I have the same setup, straight from the headers but I have the exhaust ran out to the side. One of these days I'll take a video!

Haha what the hell have I started? Anyway, I'm going to look into this 454 that I spoke of being for sale but I'll see. I'm going to have to compare the price between the upgrades on my 355 and the install of a completely new engine. Thanks for all the advice though, guys!

Actually speaking of 454, I know of someone who is selling one but I didn't really think about it that much. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I don't want to sacrifice too much MPG!! I mean, I love driving this car so much and I understand it costs more to run and maintain and I personally think it's worth it but wouldn't that just be over the top? If anything, I'd get a huge small block rather than a big block!

Thats great news, thanks! USMCBLB125, you mention a good combo for a 350 what would you suggest in terms of parts? I'm going to be looking for new cams/heads/carb/pistons but what else can I do apart from that? Oh and it's not manual, I have a 350 tranny.

Hey, Just got my 70 Monte Carlo last night. Will be sure to get some pictures of it up soon. It's got a built 350 with 3000 miles on it, runs good, pretty standard though. I want to get some major power gains in the future but I just don't know what route to take. I want to keep the car street legal but run an 11 or 12 second 1/4. My friend suggested that I should get a 150 shot of nitrous, but I'm still open to other options, perhaps a 383 stroker or even a turbo kit? However if I take the turbo route, I assume it would all have to be custom fabricated and I'm not sure I have the knowledge or the tools to be able to do that. Basic specs are: Stock block +.30 over Scat rotating assembly I-beam rods Spead pro pistons flat top 10.5:1 comp Stock heads 3-angle valve cut Stamped steel rockers Comp cam .456 lift 259° duration Hydraulic lifters Mallory distributor Edelbrock 650 carb Thanks!
