VETTEWITHLEGS

Thanks for all the input, guys! Can you read me, now, LEGHOME???? My eyes are 54.66! I have the 71 Monte in the body shop now and will more than likely do the swap before final paint. Just in case! One concern I had was the proverbial "Money Pit" ! (and here I thought that only applied to the Vette!) I gave $8,000 for the Monte, the new paint will run about $4,500, and I got the 468 and 400 turbo for $4,500. The swap puts me at the "point of no return"! Big Boy's Toys....don't ya love em?? If anyone has a line on the springs, driveshaft, etc. please let me know. jim

HAVE FLOWMASTER 40'S ON THE VETTE. SWEET SOUND TURNS HEADS AT 120 FEET! COURSE THE VETTE ONLY HAS 12 INCHES OF EXHAUST PIPE AFTER THE MUFFLER. GO WITH WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD!

I HAVE A 1971 MONTE BASE 350/ 350 TURBO, SLIGHT MODS. 84K ORIGINAL WITH 2K ON THROUGH AND THROUGH REBUILD. SHOULD I CHANGE TO A 468 W/ 540-540 CAM AND TURBO 400?? WHICH WAY BRINGS MORE VALUE? I PLAN TO KEEP THE CARFOR AT LEAST 2 GENERATIONS!! WAS GOING TO PUT THE 468 IN A 72 CAMARO SS BUT IT'S A FACTORY 350/ 4-SPEED SS. AND A UNIBODY. THE MONTE IS A FULL FRAME (SWEET) AND WILL HANDLE THE GROUND POUNDER BETTER. ALSO, HOW MANY SUSPENSION MODS WILL BE REQUIRED? DEFINATELY OPEN TO INPUT. JIM
