my other BABY...she is being restored

Postby firemonte007 » Fri Sep 19, 2008 7:14 pm

Upon a request from "Meck" Here are some shots of the 85 Monte Carlo SS that i have been restoring. It has a 305 H.O V-8 with Corvette LT-1 heads, 750 CFM rochester Quadrajet (Quadrajunk) carb, Turbo 350 trans with a shiftgo shift kit, modified valve body, enlarge passages, 2000 rpm stall converter, 3.73 posi rearend. She will pass almost anything on the road except a gas station....She drinks the gas at 8 miles per gallon. going into second gear she will break the tires loose and going into 3rd she will throw you into the seat ;) if the pictures seem to lack quality it is because they were taken with my old cheapo digital.

i know lack of chrome...but chrome wont get you home ;)

There is one for sale around the corner from my house right now.  I've been eyeballing it, but I have to sell my boat before I can have another toy.

 My youngest brother had one of those, an '84 model. It met it's end when one of his friends missed a turn aproaching a bridge, took flight from lack of terra firma, and hit a tree. We stuffed the engine into a '79 Pontaic Sunbird (Chevy Vega knock-off) and had lots more fun.
