Hi Guys,

New here just wanted to introduce myself.  I currently do not own a Monte,  My uncle bought one new in 1970. lots of fond memories.  A friend owned one in high school.  More fond memories.  I am currently into Corvettes.  I do have some parts for first gen Monte Carlo, I will be listing them hopefully some one can use them.

Jefe Canuck I have a question. I recently purchased my 1971 Monte Carlo, Im trying to find out how can I tell if its a SS ? It has a big block 402 which I read that they had the option to choose it as a SS or not other than the 454?

All SS cars were 454 engines. No SS with a 402.

Like Aaron stated, No SS Monte Carlo was built with any engine besides the 454.

Is your 402 numbers matching to the car it's in? If so, it's one of 8633 big block 402 Montes built in 71. Not as rare as an SS  or 4 speed car (big or small block) but still not as common.

Welcome!! If it's Monte Carlo stuff you have, this will be a place to let it go to a happy owner. My best memories of a corvette was in Michigan on I-94 blowing the doors off a '74 SD Trans Am at a 30 mph roll !! Both 4 spds , ours 400hp 355SBC 4:11 rear gears. We were over 120 and still ahead of the TransAm. It was a '68 corvette, ( a little modified).post-259-0-06116300-1484180397_thumb.jpg
