I'm new to this site but it looks like I'm going to like this place.
A little over 4 months I bought my neighbors 1970 Monte 350. I was kind of leary being this would be my first M/C.Ever sence my neighbor moved next door he has owned that M/C he was the 2 owner.
He findily decided to sell it but not really, all he did was just put a sign in the window and parked it on the street we lived on which was on a culdersack. ANY HOW when I bought the car I paid $2,800 which I have come to find out I got a GREAT price 1970 Monte Carlo 78,987 miles 350 A/T P/S A/C every thing works and all stock but VERY NICE shape! 1-5 a strong 3.
I boght the car and drove it to the shop that was just 3-5 miles away. Pulled the car on the lift and proceded to pull the motor and trans.
A 383 thats what had to be done.
Another $3,000 And I still think I have a steal
3 months later "IT LIVES"
Basic motor 70 350 .30 bore 4 bolt main block, 400 scat crank ,KB pistons, mild cam,750 CFM Edelbrock AFB carb & intake and nice headers and exaust,and switced over to HEI ignition.
