I'm glad you guys like the Monte. The wheels may look a little odd because the front tires are 225/50 r17 and the rears are my drag radials 27x10.5x16lt I wanted the most rubber between rim and the ground also CPP big brake disks needs 16" wheels thats the reason for different size.

This pic is the only side view I have with the rear road tires 255/50 r17:

Thanks for the great comments.

[Blown Head Gasket.... save me!]

Hello; Just a thought on your "it will run fine for about 5 minutes. and then it will simmer down to a slow death....". How old is your exhaust system? or condition of exhaust? A plugged (collapsed/rusted/frozen) muffler/piping can cause those types of symptoms.

Hi up here in the frozen north the 1/4mi. track will NOT let you on the track with plastic oil pressure line,plastic fuel filter.(get hot, melt, spray fuel or oil and catch fire).
