1985 Monte carlo

[kyhunter89]

im not a gm guy, but id take a monte or a malibu for sure, id save every penny and beg, borrow, steal, and sell where ever i could to stick a stock 6.0 and some kind of od trans in it, 4l60 or t56.

I gave 1000 for the gray bu and 1200 for this monte, 275 for a 5.3 i have. You can do it.

wish they had 8" wide checkard rims

the GP wheel arch is also diffrent. on my monte the 235s where close to the wheel arch for what ever reason but i had room to spare on the GP

I had a couple of them. On one ,the color of interior was the same as ops. full gauges, floor shift. I could drive it for days...one of the more comfortable rides, engine staying clean and cool is all I did to it. 600 holley sspaced. hey double s by accident.

Nice monte, i wish mine was that clean. The 235s in front and 255s in back look good but lyou would need two different sized wheels. Have you considered painting the rally wheels maroon to match the interior? Someone near me did that with an 80's Caprice and it looked good.

I had the rallys I needed sitting around, i ve been selling a few things recently, but keeping everything I might need. Got 235/60 and 205/65s getting mounted and balanced today while I'm asleep. Hopefully its not raining when I get upp. I'm ready to drive this thing..

I think the antenna is loose or has a bad ground.

Exhaust ideas? Want something deep and quiet but noticable and a little drone is okay, 2.25 dual from manifolds make sense?

hmm only exhuast i ever had was the 2.5" factory diesel catless exhuast. tat had a nice burble with the olds 350 and the 4.3v6

Has the tires monted and balanced. I woke up late and had to go to the gym to train, came home to this surpise, seems my dad gets exicted to see things done. The rear drums had never been off and it has new pads on the front, and he greased the whole front end.

[Wally]

What a difference a set of wheels makes.

[1931s/x]

looks good.

Looks good!

Thanks guys. Update may slow down some. I've got 100 hundred miles on her so far. Im gonna have someone do the headliner, and im going to revynal some rear trim piece, but mainly drive it. Looking for some 3.73's, headers, 8" rallys in the meantine. People cant believe its the same car since swapping wheels.

Hit Stich up? I think he came home with 6 vette Rally (8") from his last trip?

[kyhunter89]

still only 235's on back, new tread so im going to wear them some before buying new.

Headers on the way. Muffler suggestion? Thinking dual 2.5" turndown after the axle.
