I just got given a 82 monte carlo -4.4L- auto- only 53,000 kms- dark blue int and ext- all original no rust, no tears in the seats pretty mint car. should have pics up by tomorrow . I am the second owner just kinda curious on what its worth now and if I was to put a bigger motor in would it decrease value? any info would be appreciated thnks guy an gals

 

Man that sounds a lot like me lol but I paid 2400.for mine about 15yrs ago,going with bigger engine definitely won't decrease value.did u mean 3.4? Never heard of 4.4,get pics up so I can tk a look.I started out with v-6 all org rust free Mich car,then went all out on my 83!

 

Hey thnks for the response seems like not many people on here have old montes. The motor is a 267 4.4L v8 weird i know i didn't find out until I went to put a air filter in it and the one i bought for a 305 was to big haha o well another trip back to the store. I put pics of it up in my garage not sure how to put them up on posts or if i can. Your monte is sick bro ,cowl hood looks so wicked what size rims are those? and what is the max size without lift?

Cheers OutdoorRebel

 

i have never heard of a 4.4L v8 comming in a monte,

but realisticly these are not high dollar cars, if you want to keep it number matching ect but you want a bigger motor, pull original motor put it to the side and drop in engine of your choice and if you want to sell it as a numbers matching drop the original back in

 

I did some research. Its a 267 V8 rated at 115 HP. Could that thing even get out of its own way? On the bright side, it does have 5 more HP than the V6. I am not knocking your car by no means. Just never knew there was a 267. But the 305 was only rated 150 that year. The diesel 350 only had 105 also. According to this:

haha yea its no power house. I just have not seen many wasn't sure if there was a value for it being different o well maybe ill just put it in storage for another 30 years and see if anyone is interested later down the line.. thanks for the info

 

There's a lot of old montes on this site just gotta search for em ,6th gen has taken over lol.267 was org motor that came in it?I'm mind boggled but anywway Thx for checkin out my Monte the rims are 20in and Idk max size without lift.never believed in going bigger than 20's or doing lifts etc takes away from car to me.

 

Man that car looks like the perfect platform for some badassness. Awesome score. Wanna see old Montes check my garage!
