Hi `Joe from the Garden State of New Jersey,
and Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family Forum.
Sounds like you found a great package with a new 350 ci Crate,
plus 770R4.
We would love to see pictures of your 86LS with the updates.
Do you plan on any modifications ?
Do you have stock rims/tires ?
Look forward to your future posts, and hopefully
pic's of your Monte.
Wish you Good Luck, and Safe miles,
`Space

I love the older generation monte carlos. Sounds like a really nice ride you bought, and definitely better than a ford!

An 86LS with the engine and tranny swap, NICE! I like it!
I like the mid to late 80's Monte's.

Yours with the LS trim package is a great sleeper. Idling, the competition shouldn't notice much difference. But as soon as you step on the gas, SURPRISE!

What are your plans or hopes for your 86, if any?
