Here's a thread of a build for a member's car that is actually undergoing the transformation.
Been a little while since the last update though: https://montecarloforum.com/forum/pa...ppening-52046/

This link that shows the 90's Monte on the dyno is interesting
This link that shows the 90's Monte on the dyno is interesting, I am not sure where the video was taken but this is really quite a feat to turn the Monte
Carlo into a Rear wheel drive V-8.

Extra effort there for sure. Made over 600 hp too.
All the techs standing around like..."Ho hum, it's just a Monte Carlo"
Over 1 million views on it, that's bad azz...
Nice find!

I think even $20k is on the very low side to have a professional fab shop do it.
The entire chassis needs hacked up: there is no space for the transmission, the driveshaft, the rear end, etc. Literally the entire underside of the car would be ripped out and replaced with a donor car chassis or with some sort of fabricated chassis.

Much better to enjoy the '06 SS for what it is: A sporty, comfortable big coupe with a powerful V8 engine. Most folks don't know if it's fwd or rwd anyway.
